Ryan Murphy’s latest FX original series, Grotesquerie, will debut on September 25, the second series from the prolific producer to premiere next month on the channel.
The 10-episode horror series stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville, Michaela Diamond and Travis Kelce. According to FX, Grotesquerie follows a detective (Nash-Betts) in a small community who feels someone or something is taunting her after a series of heinous crimes that have unsettled the community. “With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of ‘Sister Megan’ (Diamond), a nun and journalist,” FX said. “As Lois and Sister Megan string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”
The series marks the second new Murphy-created series to debut on FX next month, following the September 17 premiere of American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez.
Grotesquerie is produced by 20th Century Television, with Murphy, Alexis Martin Woodall, Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken, Max Winkler, Nash-Betts, Vance, Peter Ligouri, Nissa Diederich, Eric Kovtun and Scott Robertson serving as executive producers.
