  • Tiger Woods Says He’s Seeking Treatment After DUI and SUV Rollover Crash

    Tiger Woods Says He’s Seeking Treatment After DUI and SUV Rollover Crash

    Tiger Woods has announced he is seeking treatment after he was arrested for a DUI last Friday.

    “I know and I understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health,” the golf pro wrote in a statement shared to X on Tuesday. “This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”

    “I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time,” Woods’ statement concluded.

    The golf star was arrested in Florida on Friday, March 27, following a crash near his home in Jupiter after he rolled over his SUV, per the local sheriff’s office. Sheriff Alex Villanueva with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office told press on Friday that before 2 p.m., a truck pulling a small trailer on South Beach Road in Jupiter Island was turning into a driveway when the driver looked in his rearview mirror and saw Woods’ Land Rover overtaking him at “high speeds.”

    “He saw it coming, so he tried to edge off to the side of the road. But this is a small two-lane road, and there was no shoulder for this pressure-cleaner gentleman to get off the side of the road,” Sheriff Villanueva said. “He was trying to move to the side of the road. The Land Rover overtook him at the last minute, swerved to avoid a collision but clipped the back end of the trailer of the pressure-cleaner apparatus, then rolled on the driver’s door.”

    Woods crawled out of the passenger side of the car, and when DUI investigators arrived to the scene, they administered a breathalyzer test, but he was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, as the test registered 0.0, per police. Authorities at the scene still determined Woods was impaired at the time of the crash. He refused a urine test at the time.

    This is the third crash Woods has been a part of. In 2021, he was involved in a rollover crash in Los Angeles, and police found an empty pharmaceutical bottle in the backseat of his vehicle. Earlier in 2017, the pro golfer was found asleep at the wheel in Florida and arrested for drunk driving. Ambien, Vicodin and THC were found in his system at the time, and he checked into a rehabilitation clinic that year.

  • Netflix Sets Korean Romance Series ‘Long Vacation’ From ‘Crash Landing on You’ Director Lee Jung-hyo

    Netflix Sets Korean Romance Series ‘Long Vacation’ From ‘Crash Landing on You’ Director Lee Jung-hyo

    Netflix has begun production on Long Vacation, a new Korean romance series from Lee Jung-hyo, the director behind the global mega-hit Crash Landing on You, and writer Jung Hyun-jung, one of Korea’s most prolific romance scribes. The streamer shared a few images on Wednesday from the show’s first day of table reads in Seoul (above and below). 

    The project unites two of Korea’s fastest-rising young stars. Choo Young-woo, who won the Baeksang Award for best new actor last year thanks to recent hits like The Tale of Lady Ok, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call and Head Over Heels, stars in Long Vacation as Demon 3375, a powerful being who has lived for centuries without understanding love. Versatile actress Lee Se-young (The Red Sleeve, What Comes After Love), meanwhile, plays Deul-pan, a capable hotel room attendant whose everyday life is anything but easy. When the two keep crossing paths at a seaside hotel, an unlikely relationship begins to emerge, shaking up everything the demon thought he knew.

    Netflix has high hopes for the series, given the pedigree of the talent behind the camera. Lee Jung-hyo has become one of the company’s go-to Korean hitmakers. Following Crash Landing on You — one of the most-watched K-dramas in the platform’s history — he helmed original series Doona! (2023) and the Jeon Do-yeon thriller The Price of Confession (2025). Jung Hyun-jung’s writing credits span more than a decade, including hits like I Need Romance, Romance Is a Bonus Book, Lovestruck in the City and Discovery of Love.

    The series adds to what is shaping up to be another formidable year for Korean content on Netflix. The streamer unveiled a 33-title Korean slate in January that featured everything from a new season of Singles Inferno to rom-com Boyfriend on Demand —starring Blackpink’s Jisso — and Lee Chang-dong’s Possible Love, the revered auteur’s first film in eight years and a likely contender at this fall’s major festivals. Korea continues to play an outsized role as one of Netflix’s most important content engines outside the United States, a reality underscored just last week by the BTS comeback concert broadcast live from Seoul’s Gwanghwamun Square, which drew 18.4 million viewers and hit No. 1 on Netflix in 24 countries.

  • Tiger Woods Says He’s ‘Stepping Away to Seek Treatment’ After Car Crash and DUI

    Tiger Woods Says He’s ‘Stepping Away to Seek Treatment’ After Car Crash and DUI

    Champion golfer Tiger Woods says he’s going to “step away” and seek treatment after being charged with driving under the influence in the aftermath of a rollover car accident in Florida on Friday.

    “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery,” he wrote on X Tuesday.

    “I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”

    Woods had two hydrocodone pills in his pocket at the time of the arrest, reported The New York Times’ The Athletic. His arrest warrant also said that he had looked down at his cellphone and was changing the radio station when he clipped a pickup truck and rolled his vehicle.

    Woods’ attorney appeared in court Tuesday and pleaded not guilty on his behalf, the Athletic reported.

    Woods was hospitalized with leg injuries after a 2021 rollover crash in Los Angeles. He had compound fractures in both legs and a broken ankle. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in 2017 after being found asleep in a car that had its motor running and was still in a driving lane. He admitted to self-medicating with Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax, Ambien and THC after a spinal surgery.

    The golfer last competed in 2024.

  • Zendaya Plans on “Disappearing” and Going “Into Hiding” After Her Stacked 2026 Release Schedule

    Zendaya Plans on “Disappearing” and Going “Into Hiding” After Her Stacked 2026 Release Schedule

    After Zendaya‘s jam-packed 2026 release schedule, you may not hear from the actress for quite a bit.

    The Emmy Award winner is slated to front five hefty projects coming out this year. First, she’ll star in The Drama, which premieres April 3, and a little over a week later, the long-awaited third season of Euphoria will debut on April 12. Then, Zendaya will have about three months off before Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters on July 17. Two weeks later, the highly anticipated fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland will come out on July 31. And to close out the year, Zendaya will star in the third Dune film, which is slated for a Dec. 18 release.

    With so many projects on her plate this year, Zendaya told Fandango she hopes that “people don’t get sick of me,” and that she jokingly plans on going into “hiding for just a little bit” after the films and show have all released.

    “I really appreciate everyone who supports any of the movies or supports my career in any kind of way,” she said. “I’m deeply appreciative, and like I said, I just hope you guys don’t get sick of me this year, because, I’ll tell you what, I’m disappearing for a little bit. I’m going to have to go into hiding for just a little bit.”

    While Zendaya may plan on stepping away from the spotlight after 2026, she will re-enter the press cycle in the summer of 2027 to promote Shrek 5. The film arrives June 30, and she will voice Shrek’s daughter, Felicia, as mainstays Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey) and Cameron Diaz (Fiona) return.

  • Johnny Depp Designed Bottle for Rum Brand Using Inspiration From His Tattoos and Loves of His Life

    Johnny Depp Designed Bottle for Rum Brand Using Inspiration From His Tattoos and Loves of His Life

    Rum has had a splashy role in Johnny Depp’s career.

    First, there was the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise — “Why is all the rum gone?!” — and then came the Hunter S. Thompson adaptation The Rum Diary. Depp has now written another chapter, or poured another shot, with the launch of Three Hearts Rum, a premium Caribbean-inspired rum founded in partnership with his longtime friend Bobby DeLeon.

    It’s not just another quick hit celebrity spirits brand. Depp and DeLeon have been swirling the idea around for years with the intent of creating something with meaning that honored their bond as well as the heritage of rum from the Caribbean, a place where Depp has spent considerable time across two decades (on his own private island in the Bahamas named Little Hall’s Pond Cay). Their creative process gained traction in the wake of the devastation caused by hurricanes across several Caribbean islands in recent years as they sought ways they might be able to support and spotlight local communities. Depp poured a bit of his heart into the bottle by designing it himself and incorporating symbolism inspired by his tattoos, personal philosophy and the three loves of his life.

    The bottle is embossed with the flag of his island, made up of the tattoos on his body like a skull to serve as a reminder to live fully, a lightning bolt to symbolize enduring friendship, the number three to represent new beginnings and three hearts represent the loves of his life. The base of the bottle features the brand’s motto: “No Fear. No Malice. No Envy.” The top of the bottle features a bracelet-style charm.

    “Rum holds the history of the islands,” Depp said in a statement. “It’s shaped by the hands of the people who grow the cane, ferment the spirit and age it over time. Bobby and I wanted to create something that honored that tradition and the friendships that inspired it.”

    Added DeLeon: “We didn’t want to rush something into the world. This rum represents years of patience and collaboration. Our goal was to create something that respected the heritage of Caribbean rum while sharing the spirit of the friendship that started it.”

    Per today’s news, the founders say they intend for Three Hearts Rum to mark the first chapter in what they plan as “a broader exploration of Caribbean rum traditions in the years ahead.” In an interview with Forbes, DeLeon described Three Hearts Rum rum as sticky toffee in flavor with aromas of wood, spices, candied orange and vanilla. It was made in a distillery in the Dominican Republic which aged the liquid in ex-bourbon barrels for five years and re-casked it for two more years in former cognac barrels resulting in a seven-year-aged rum.

    See below for bottle details and behind-the-scenes images of Depp’s creative process at work.

  • ‘Project Hail Mary’ Cinematographer Greig Fraser on How He Created the Sun Effect to Light the Tunnel Scene

    ‘Project Hail Mary’ Cinematographer Greig Fraser on How He Created the Sun Effect to Light the Tunnel Scene

    Cinematographer Greig Fraser counts “The Batman,” “Dune” and “Rogue One” among his credits. But his latest film, “Project Hail Mary,” is what he calls his “most challenging film I’ve ever done, by far.”

    “Project Hail Mary” is based on Andy Weir’s book of the same name and directed by  Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a science teacher and former molecular biologist who is recruited by the government to help save the Earth from dying. Ryland then unwittingly finds himself on an interstellar mission that includes meeting an alien, Rocky.

    The film shatters stereotypical visuals of space, veering away from cold and desaturated colors, and using warmer tones such as orange.

    In one scene, as Grace walks through the tunnel to first meet Rocky, Fraser explains that the tunnel itself went through an evolution. “We had to discover what this thing was,” he says, referring to xenonite, which is the material the story says it was made from. “The sun has to come through it, but that provided a couple of challenges because this tunnel was 70 feet long.

    Speaking with Variety for Inside the Frame via Zoom from London where he’s shooting The Beatles biopic movies with Sam Mendes, Fraser discussed one of his biggest challenges: How was he going to light the tunnel? “In the past, what people have done to move light is they put a light on a frame and moved it over a window or through something, but we had to have the entire tunnel being hit by the sun.”

    “The tunnel had a bit of scariness to it at the beginning. It had to feel a little bit like he was going into a well,” he says. Fraser says he took a lot of inspiration from deep-sea submersible footage where they’re in pitch black, and they’re diving into the darkness, lit purely by the lights from the ship or from a headlamp.

    Fraser and his team ended up building lighting rigs using old tungsten lights — a lot of them. “We physically couldn’t get enough LEDs to do that. They’re all old school tungsten lights, and we pixel-mapped them, so it meant that the sun can rotate around in any sort of configuration that we want.”

    Greig Fraser used tungsten lights on a rig to create a “sun” effect.

    As for the multi-colored flare that appears throughout, Fraser reveals, “I found this beautiful filter online, on Amazon. It’s a rainbow filter, and it causes these beautiful rainbow streaks to the highlights, and that became a theme throughout the film.”

    Once he had figured out how he would light the sun and the tunnel, Fraser also toyed with the idea of “changing the lenses to squeeze vertically rather than horizontally.” He explains, “What we did is we shot with an Alexa 65, which is already a wide screen sensor, but we squeezed it the other way. We squeezed it so that it went taller, for our film, it seemed perfect, because what it meant is that all the flares went vertically rather than horizontally.”

    Everything required a close collaboration with the film’s production designer, Charlie Wood. “We worked closely with Charlie to make sure that the finish on the inside of the tunnel allowed enough light through, but not so much light through that it made it look transparent. It was a really fine balance. We did a lot of testing, because too much black finish means that you don’t see light through it, and not enough black finish means that it looks like plastic.”

    Jonathan Olley

    As for his camera choice, Fraser knew the film was going to have an Imax release. “We looked very carefully at the options of shooting with an Imax camera and shooting different formats,” he says. His visual references were “films from the ’70s and ‘80s. I kept using ‘Solaris,’ ‘Alien,’ ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ as a visual reference for how the film should look.”

    It was agreed that Lord and Miller wanted an analog patina. “I think it comes from us growing up with films like ‘E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial’ and ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind,’ where there is definitely a lack of digital clarity to what the images are with those films. So we needed to do the same thing here, because it just felt more human to be more analog.”

    He adds that the Alexa 65 turned out to be the perfect camera because “If we shoot Imax, we’ve got three-minute rolls. It’s loud, which might be OK, and if Ryan’s in a helmet, we might be able to get rid of the sounds, but it won’t give us the film that we’re after if we use those particular devices.”

    Once Fraser was set on his camera, there were still challenges to overcome. Rocky could only be front-lit; Rocky couldn’t emanate any light; it all had to come from the sun.

    “If you talk to any DP, you’ll know that is what we have, we wake up in cold sweats,” he jokes. “Added to that, not only do we light this character with the front light, we light a character with a front light with no face, that looks like a rock, that looks like a spider.”

    As adorable as audiences have found Rocky, Fraser had no skin tone or facial personality to work with. He said, “The challenges were compounded. It was front lighting a rock with no face that emoted just through puppetry.” Fraser concludes, “It wasn’t just a challenge. It was a challenge on a challenge, on top of a challenge, under a challenge, through a challenge.”

  • ‘Southland Tales’ at 20: Dwayne Johnson Movie Flopping Was “Very Sad” for Director Richard Kelly, Says Actor

    ‘Southland Tales’ at 20: Dwayne Johnson Movie Flopping Was “Very Sad” for Director Richard Kelly, Says Actor

    Southland Tales, which has long maintained a cult following, is getting a fond tribute as it nears its 20th anniversary.

    Lou Taylor Pucci, who has a role in the film, offered his thoughts about the movie during a recent Reddit AMA. Southland Tales marked the second movie for director Richard Kelly — known for feature directorial debut Donnie Darko — while the ensemble cast included Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore and Justin Timberlake.

    Pucci noted that Kelly is a “genius in his own way” but that the director seemed to expect it to make a bigger splash at the box office. “I thought Richard knew when he was making it that he was making a B-sci-fi cult classic, but it seems he and his producers didn’t think it’d bomb in the box office,” Pucci said. “They put a lot of [money] into it.”

    The actor added, “So for them, it was very sad when it wasn’t well-received. But I think Richard’s view of a fascist America was quite prescient and worth a new viewing, if you all have time.”

    While responding to a different question about the film, Pucci explained that the script had evolved significantly from the initial version that he received.

    “The first script I got didn’t have time travel — or two Sean William Scotts,” said Pucci, who is known for features like Evil Dead and for such series as Physical and Daredevil: Born Again. “The third one did. Nobody knew what was going on, but they all trusted Richard because of his success with Donnie Darko. They got The Rock and Sara Michelle Gellar in that movie, and literally all of us, because of [Donnie Darko].”

    Southland Tales premiered at Cannes in 2006 before hitting theaters the following year. The dystopian feature is set in Los Angeles and centers on an action film star (Johnson) connecting with an adult actress (Gellar) amid the threat of nuclear attack. After getting booed at Cannes, it collected a mere $375,000 at the global box office.

    For a piece timed to the film’s 10th anniversary, Kelly talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the divisive critical response. Southland Tales marked the director’s follow-up to Donnie Darko, the 2001 thriller that helped establish Jake Gyllenhaal’s career and made Kelly an in-demand filmmaker.

    Southland Tales was a really aggressive, provocative film, even for Cannes,” Kelly said. “I think a lot of people were just never going to accept the film for what it was.” The only feature that Kelly has since directed was 2009’s The Box, starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden.

    For her part, Gellar told THR in 2023 about Southland Tales, “That movie was just batshit ambitious.” She also pointed out that she “fell asleep twice” during its Cannes premiere.

  • How ‘Heated Rivalry’ Became a Musical (Parody)

    How ‘Heated Rivalry’ Became a Musical (Parody)

    Heated Rivalry is everywhere, including Off-Broadway.

    A theatrical parody of the hit Canadian show will get an Off-Broadway run this May, after eight sold-out concert presentations in March. The show, written by Dylan MarcAurele, follows key plot points in the show, now set to songs like “Big Ass, Cold Heart” and “Shane Hollander Slap That Stick,” with the added character of Susan, who is a “lovable wine mom,” avid fan and somewhat unreliable narrator of the story. 

    MarcAurele, a musical theater composer who has previously written musical parodies of the M3gan film and episodes of The Real Housewives, as they’ve aired, knew he wanted to turn the television into a musical after only about 20 minutes of watching it. 

    “It was the bike scene. I just absolutely loved those bikes. I was like, this is iconic. It’s stageable. I loved how their fingers touched on the water bottle,” MarcAurele said. 

    Per his typical process, he ended up only watching the series once and taking notes. If he watches too many times, “my compass then loses its calibration for what will be funny or emotionally resonant.” he said. Out of this came, Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody, which includes a musicalized bike scene as well as a big opening number with the chorus, “gay hockey players with big butts.” 

    The character of Susan, played by Ryann Redmond, came out of his desire to speak to the way the show has become increasingly popular among women, as well as the practical need for a narrator with only four cast members. The audience members are also referred to as “Susans.” 

    “I think that’s a fun central rub, the idea of a lovable wine mom who can take us through the story, and she’s got her Yeti tumbler of Sauvignon Blanc, and she’s maybe in a marriage that isn’t very happy, but that’s why she has this amazing emotional refuge in the show Heated Rivalry,” MarcAurele said. “We are all Susans.”

    Due to scheduling demand and a desire to capitalize on the show’s momentum, MarcAurele only had three weeks to write the musical before the March concert presentations. The cast only had a few days of rehearsals. Broadway actor Jay Armstrong Johnson was asked to play Connor Storrie’s character of Ilya Rozanov, who friends have said he bears a resemblance to (“I’m a white guy with high cheekbones and curly hair, so sure, yeah,” he joked). And like Storrie, he had the added challenge of conquering the Russian accent, but on a faster timeline.

    “I kind of walked into the rehearsal process thinking like, ‘OK, if my Russian accent is a little bad, then maybe that’ll help with the parody of it all,’” Armstrong said. “And [director] Alan [Kliffer] and Dylan did not believe in that, so I ended up getting a dialect coach to work on the Russian dialect. Most of my rehearsal process was trying to get down this really hard Russian accent, which is way harder than I thought that it would be.”

    After the sold-out concert presentations, the musical is now set for a fully staged eight week-run, which will include choreography, starting May 12 at the 6th Floor Theater. Armstrong will reprise his role as Ilya, alongside new cast member Jimin Moon, and returning cast members Redmond, Cherry Torres, and Ryan Duncan. All have Broadway experience. 

    As the parody goes on to a bigger venue, it’s unclear how much awareness the creators of the television series have of the musical. A press representative for Crave, the original streaming home of the series, did not immediately respond to request for comment. 

    While his show is a parody, MarcAurele’s musical also does pay homage to some of the emotional resonance he said he found in the series. 

    “Embarrassing to say, but I really identify with Shane Hollander. He’s this person who tries so hard to be the best hockey player that he can be, the best son that he can be, and you see his journey as a gay person. There’s just so much of it that resonated with me,” he said.

  • ‘Scream 8’ in the Works With ‘Poker Face’ Writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman

    ‘Scream 8’ in the Works With ‘Poker Face’ Writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman

    Spyglass’ Scream 8 is moving forward. So, get ready for another Ghostface — or more.

    Lilla and Nora Zuckerman, better known as the Zuckerman sisters, are set as writers for the eighth installment of the long-standing slasher franchise, created by Kevin Williamson, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

    The Zuckerman sisters have served as showrunners for the Peacock series Poker Face, starring Natasha Lyonne. They have also worked as writers and co-executive producers on such shows as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Suits, Fringe and Prodigal Son.

    The news comes after Scream 7, released Feb. 27, became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning more than $200 million worldwide.

    Scream 7 welcomed back Williamson, who stepped into the director’s chair. The film also saw the return of its final girl, Neve Campbell (who didn’t appear in Scream VI due to salary disputes) and saw Ghostface targeting Sidney and her teenage daughter, Tatum (Isabel May). The screenplay was co-written by Williamson and Guy Busick (Ready or Not films, Abigail).

    Shortly after the film premiered, Anna Camp, who appeared in Scream 7, told THR she heard chatter about another installment. “Just rumors, just rumors. I haven’t heard from anyone specifically that I worked with, like Kevin or Neve but I’ve heard the rumors going around that there’s a Scream 8,” she said.

    Additional cast members included Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Isabel May, Michelle Randolph, Ethan Embry, Mark Consuelos, Jimmy Tatro, Celeste O’Connor, Asa Germann and Sam Rechner.

    Lilla and Nora Zuckerman are repped by UTA and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark.

    Deadline was first to report the news.

    More to come.

  • ‘Love Story’ to ‘All’s Fair’: The Status of the Ryan Murphy-Verse on TV and Streaming

    Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette was an out-of-the-gate success for FX and executive producer Ryan Murphy. The show, which concluded on March 26, racked up strong streaming numbers and passionate (if sometimes polarized) reaction from viewers.

    In other words, it was quintessential Murphy: Over the course of his career, which includes more than two dozen series, he has delivered a host of hits that tend to play in a high emotional register and attract audiences and conversation.

    Murphy is also one of the more prolific executive producers in the business, with projects at ABC, FX and Netflix (where he had an overall deal for several years before returning to Disney’s 20th TV in 2023). Here’s where the productions from his eponymous company currently stand.

    Just Finished

    Love Story: The FX series is the latest in Murphy’s American Story franchise (though it dropped the “American” from its title. Created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Murphy, the show deftly re-created the 1990s New York that Kennedy and Bessette inhabited (though some members of the Kennedy family and people who knew the couple had issues with the dramatic license the show took).

    Given its success for FX, it seems likely that the Disney outlet would want a second season, though there’s no deal in place yet. Nor, seemingly, have Murphy and Co. settled on a subject. Executive producer Nina Jacobson responded “You and me both” to a THR writer’s interest in finding out who a possible second season would feature.

    Ongoing

    911 and 911: Nashville: The ABC series about L.A. first responders has put its characters and home city through the wringer over nine seasons (the first six of those on Fox), with disasters ranging from a tsunami to a bee swarm to a geostorm that Athena (Angela Bassett) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) battle from space. The Nashville-set spinoff debuted last fall and has put tornados and cyberattacks in front of its cast, along with more everyday emergencies. Both shows have been renewed for the 2026-27 season.

    Coming Soon

    American Horror Story 13: Murphy teased a new season of the long-running anthology on Halloween last year, promising a new season in time for this Halloween (FX hasn’t announced a premiere date yet). Ariana Grande is joining frequent AHS players Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman and Jessica Lange; no other details are available yet. (Companion show American Horror Stories is currently in limbo.)

    Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story: The fourth season of Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Netflix anthology will focus on the infamous Lizzie Borden murder case, with Ella Beatty in the title role. Charlie Hunnam, Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall, Lourd and Jessica Barden also star. The streamer hasn’t announced a premiere date yet, but the season went into production last fall, suggesting it could be debuting later in the year.

    TBD

    All’s Fair season two: Critics pilloried the legal drama starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Paulson and Glenn Close. But the show performed solidly for Hulu and earned a second season pickup in November 2025. There’s no word yet on when the series will return.

    The Shards: Murphy rescued a show based on Bret Easton Ellis’ novel from turnaround at HBO, and FX picked it up in the summer of 2025. The 1980s-set novel is partly based on Ellis’ life, and the series stars Kaia Gerber, Igby Rigney, Homer Gere, Wes Bentley, Graham Campbell, Hayes Warner and Jordan Roth. It began filming late last year.

    The Beauty season two: FX has yet to make a decision on the series, which is set in a world where a drug can turn people into physically perfect versions of themselves — before it kills them. Season one, which ended on a cliffhanger, starred Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Rebecca Hall, Jessica Alexander, Ashton Kutcher and isabella Rossellini. Matthew Hodgson and Murphy created the series.

    Never Say Never

    American Crime Story season four and Feud season three: It’s been more than four years since the last American Crime Story installment, Impeachment, aired — but then again, almost seven years passed between seasons of Feud. FX, which is behind both shows, hasn’t provided any updates on either in some time (season two of Feud aired in early 2024). The outlet’s relationship with Murphy, however, is such that if he and his collaborators came to FX with an idea for either show, they would certainly listen.
