FX has reportedly cancelled Ryan Murphy-produced dramas “Grotesquerie” and “The Beauty” after one season each, while the fate of Murphy’s “The Shards” remains undecided at this point.
“Grotesquerie” starred Niecy Nash-Betts as Lois Tryon, a homicide detective who teams up with a nun (Micaela Diamond) to solve a series of brutal murders with religious connections.
Courtney B. Vance, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Raven Goodwin, and Lesley Manville co-starred in the series which aired back in October 2024 for ten episodes and famously had a genre-bending twist midway through.
“The Beauty” aired its eleven-episode run earlier this year and starred Evan Peters as Cooper Madsen, an FBI agent investigating deaths linked to a miracle drug.
Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Rebecca Hall, and Ashton Kutcher co-starred and the cancellation isn’t shocking as options on the actors expired back in July.
“The Shards” meanwhile, based on Bret Easton Ellis’ 2023 novel of the same name, finished its initial nine-episode run in September. No formal decision on that has yet been made.
