From the campy Glee to the Emmy-sweeping American Crime Story, Ryan Murphy knows how to give us exactly what—and who—we want. Now that he’s signed a multi-year, multi-hundred million dollar deal with Netflix, it’s clear we’ll be watching Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Connie Briton, Jessica Lange, and the rest of the…
The great promise of American Horror Story: Apocalypse, the latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s entertainment multiverse, is that by the fifth episode of this season, there will be a twist unlike anything they’ve ever done. It’s a lofty proposition for a show that takes risks with every season, not all of which pay…
There has been absolutely nothing exciting about American Horror Story since Myrtle Snow screamed “BALENCIAAAAGAAAAAA” before being burned at the stake in the show’s third season, but buckle up, nerds: That changes now!
I was a true devotee of the first few seasons of American Horror Story, but I dropped off during Freak Show, which was just a tad too fucked up for me to muddle through before bed. So it is with great anticipation that I await AHS: Apocalypse, which is supposedly something of a mashup of seasons one and three—with…
Variety published a roundtable on Tuesday featuring six prominent trans actors in conversation. Their discussion was fruitful and full of insight into matters of representation, discrimination, and opportunity. But an editor’s note explaining why the roundtable did not include actors from the cast of Pose left some …
In a crushing blow to me, personally, Feud: Charles and Diana is currently not moving forward at FX. [Wails, gnashes teeth, rends garments including eBay-sourced commemorative Charles and Diana wedding t-shirt]
Ryan Murphy, the writer/producer/multi-hyphenate behind Glee and pretty much every show on FX (American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Feud), got a lengthy profile in The New Yorker titled “How Ryan Murphy Became the Most Powerful Man in TV.” It might as well have been called something about how Murphy is the…
The trailer for Pose, Ryan Murphy’s vision of 1987 New York ballroom culture, has a bit of a Fame vibe, which means it might be a hot summer series worth viewing at home in a nice air-conditioned room.
A California appeals court dealt a blow to 101-year-old actor Olivia de Havilland on Monday, ruling that her lawsuit against Ryan Murphy and his TV series, Feud: Bette and Joan, should be tossed.
Does the world really need another Ryan Murphy television show with the singing and the star power and the celebrities? If you ask me, the answer is no. If you ask Netflix, the answer is “YES, MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME, OF COURSE WE DO, NOW BRING ME MY CONTRACT-SIGNING GLASSES AND THE LARGE BAG OF MONEY I PUT ON THE…
Donatella Versace has made it very clear that American Crime Story’s second iteration, focused on the murder of Gianni Versace, was not authorized; ipso facto, the show isn’t either. But Ryan Murphy thinks she’s still excited about it.
The second installment of Ryan Murphy’s award-winning show American Crime Story, now focusing on the death of designer Gianni Versace whereas the first centered on the O.J. Simpson trial, is set to premiere January 17. But the Versace family stresses that the show should only be viewed as a work of complete fiction.
Ryan Murphy does too much—so much so that the vast majority of his output feels half-baked and ill-conceived—but hen he gets it right, he really knocks it out of the park. Let the trailer for American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace stand as example of everything campy, lavish, ridiculous and good…
A new Ryan Murphy show has made history in its casting of five transgender actors as series regulars, a record for scripted TV.

Everyone processes grief differently. Some drink. Some smoke. Some buy beauty products and make kale salads. If you’re Ryan Murphy, disappointed and saddened by the 2016 presidential election that saw Donald Trump rise to power over Hillary Clinton, you cope the only way you know how: by making television. At its…
After what has felt like a very protracted promotional cycle, a trailer has been released for American Horror Story: Cult, providing the clearest glimpse yet into what will likely be a very bad season of television.
Ryan Murphy has been dropping very confusing screenshots of the new season of American Horror Story on his Instagram to give fans a chance to guess what this year’s nightmare will be. Unsurprisingly, the decontextualized image of a man covered in bees didn’t in any way prepare us for this season’s title. It’s Cult.
Ryan Murphy has finally unleashed on Instagram the final clue as to what the title of the upcoming season of American Horror Story will be. Like everything Murphy does, the collection of assorted clues is inscrutable and slightly frustrating, but will probably make us all feel very stupid for overthinking things in…
