American Horror Story
On October 7, 2014, it was announced that FX had ordered a 10-episode spin-off titled "American Crime Story", developed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. While each season of "American Horror Story" focuses on a new horror theme, each season of "American Crime Story" focuses on a new true crime story. The series features "American Horror Story" cast members Sarah Paulson, Connie Britton, Cuba Gooding Jr., Darren Criss, Finn Wittrock, Max Greenfield and Cody Fern. The first season premiered in February 2016, with the second season premiering in January 2018. A third season is in development.
The Coat Hanger
In a December 2012 interview with "Entertainment Weekly", guest star Dylan McDermott spoke about being in the second season of "American Horror Story", "I loved doing the show. It's like being home for me. We talked about it I think early in the season. He [Ryan Murphy] called me over the summer and we were trying to figure out what was the best plan and in what capacity. I wasn't sure myself and obviously he's the master and the genius that figures this shit out. So the day the show premiered he called me and he explained it to me because I hadn't read any of the scripts. He explained to me what my character was going to be and I was like, 'Are you fucking kidding me? I love this! I love this! It's beyond!' To play the modern day Bloody Face and to have this whole back story of a guy who's thrown away and aborted and still lived! It was just like, are you kidding me? It was music to my ears, maybe nobody else's. But to me? I couldn't believe it. It's so twisted and dark and fucked up. That's why I'm on the show because I love stuff like that."
