Producing mogul Ryan Murphy has dipped his toes into nearly every genre—exploring Old Hollywood feuds, high school glee clubs, and all the horror stories with his signature flourish. As it turns out, there’s a lot more where that came from. Two new American Story spinoff series—American Sports Story and American Love Story are coming, alongside a Studio 54-themed installment of American Crime Story, FX and 20th Television announced Friday.
These new shows will join Murphy’s vast catalogue at FX, which includes American Horror Story, seasons 1–3 of American Crime Story (The People v. O.J. Simpson, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, and September 7’s Impeachment), and the FX on Hulu anthology American Horror Stories. He will produce and develop the series alongside Brad Falchuk, Nina Jacobson, and Brad Simpson.
As indicated by its title, American Love Story explores the “sweeping true love stories that captured the world’s attention.” Kicking off the spinoff is a dissection of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s whirlwind romance. “What started out as a beautiful union for the young couple, widely regarded as American royalty, began to fray under the stress of the relentless microscope and navel gaze of tabloid media. The pressures of their careers and rumored family discord ended with their tragic deaths when his private plane crashed into the ocean on a hazy summer night off the coast of Massachusetts,” a plot synopsis reads.
Meanwhile, American Sports Story centers “on a prominent event involving a sports figure and re-examines it through the prism of today’s world, telling that story from multiple perspectives.” The first season, based on Boston Globe and Wondery’s podcast Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc, will explore the tragic life of NFL star Aaron Hernandez, including his murder conviction and 2017 suicide.
Studio 54: American Crime Story, the fourth installment of Murphy’s Emmy-winning anthology, chronicles the infamous ’70s nightclub from its inception to downfall. The season will follow Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, who “turned their midtown Manhattan disco into an international mecca of nightlife for the rich and famous and commoners alike—renowned for its lavish parties, music, sex and drugs.” (Murphy explored similar terrain in Netflix’s Halston.) Only three years after Studio 54’s rise, its fall came when the pair were convicted of tax fraud.
In recent years, Murphy has largely turned his attention away from FX to Netflix, where he inked a reported $300 million development deal. During his tenure there, he conceived starry projects including Hollywood, Ratched, The Politician, and The Prom—which all received mixed critical reviews. As it turns out, you can come home again.
