We’ll at least have The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story next year, but should Katrina be scrapped altogether?
No one was exactly surprised to hear that FX’s Katrina: American Crime Story had stalled in favor of Versace, but neither FX nor Ryan Murphy will scrap the idea outright.
Instead, production has been pushed to 2019 with a revamped premise and cast, and confirmed to feature Sarah Paulson in a leading role.
Katrina will swap source material of Douglas Brinkley’s The Great Deluge for Sheri Frank’s Five Days at Memorial, with Paulson now the only confirmed casting.
