Ryan Murphy’s Disney Struggles Proceed


Ryan Murphy’s monitor document at Disney takes one other hit, as Grotesquerie is seemingly cancelled after one season. Debuting in September 2024 on FX, which is owned by Disney, the horror sequence centered on Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts). With private troubles of her personal that she’s reluctant to face, Tryon has to work with an area nun to uncover the reality a few string of horrific crimes.

Co-created by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, the solid of Grotesquerie additionally starred Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Micaela Diamond, Raven Goodwin, and Lesley Manville, with NFL participant Travis Kelce in a recurring position. Though the horror drama acquired some constructive buzz, notably for Nash-Betts’ lead efficiency, there’s been no phrase on the present’s future.

Writing for his publication in Puck, journalist Matt Belloni supplied a short replace on Murphy’s monitor document because the prolific govt producer exited his deal at Netflix and returned to the Disney fold in 2023.

Grotesquerie‘s ending leaves one main query unanswered. Coupled with constructive statements from the solid and crew, it lent credence to the possibilities of a season 2 renewal. Extra broadly, Belloni provides his evaluation of why Murphy’s return to Disney hasn’t been a smashing success. Over on ABC and Hulu, each Disney-owned, Mid-Century Trendy and Physician Odyssey have been cancelled after one season. The brand new installment of Feud and the debut of American Sports activities Story on FX did not snag any main Emmy nominations, whereas the destiny of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville remains to be unclear.

The elevated highlight on Murphy’s output comes after the bashing that the Kim Kardashian-led All’s Honest acquired from critics.

All’s Honest has publicly embraced the damaging critiques, with some viewers admitting that they admire the sequence exactly due to its slapdash high quality. It might very properly be a profitable technique, albeit that will not be absolutely obvious till the authorized drama’s season 1 finale provides a clearer image of whether or not it might keep the momentum of all “publicity is sweet publicity.” No less than for Grotesquerie season 2, although, that appears to not be within the playing cards.
