FX Boss Says More Cycles of Ryan Murphy’s "American Crime Story" on Horizon; But No "Katrina"

FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said Ryan Murphy's "American Crime Story" will have many more cycles on the cable network even as it’s acquired by Disney. However, there isn’t an immediate concept in the wings for another "Feud".
Landgraf noted that there are four ideas on the table, but he doesn’t know which one will go first. “There’s the likelihood that they’ll all be produced over time,” he said.
However, you can nix the long-gestating "Katrina" version which was going to be Murphy’s sociological and human rights study on how New Orleans went sideways at the hands of city corruption during the hurricane.
We hear that Scott Rudin, who own the rights to the Five Days at Memorial book, on which the most recent version of the "Katrina ACS" installment was based, may shop the project elsewhere.
Landgraf noted that several of the ideas are “in advanced stages”.
“I’m very optimistic that we will have something in the next couple of years, and I’m optimistic that we will have multiple more cycles of that show,” he told Deadline.
