Chris here. Ryan Murphy is a television titan with American Crime Story: Versace currently drawing high praise and umpteen projects in the pipeline, including a Sarah Paulson-led Nurse Ratched series. This next one already sounds kookier than the rest - Netflix has given a greenlight to The Politician, an hour-long comedic satire.
The series will star recent Tony winner Ben Platt and follow his character's burgeoning political career, plus feature the star in several musical numbers. Wait... what? This already sounds like the trickiest tone Murphy has had yet to land, but the outlandishness is rather intriguing. Further plot details are being kept under wraps but the ensemble is taking shape with deals in line for Gwyneth Paltrow and Barbra Streisand. Wait... WHAT? This sounds like Glee grew up but stayed bonkers, and even this Murphy skeptic is intrigued.
Murphy has several projects coming soon other than Ratched, including the New York ball scene drama Pose. Recently, American Crime Story: New Orleans has seen creative delays and lost Annette Bening in the process unfortunately. A bigger mystery than a potential second Feud iteration might be if Murphy ever gets some sleep.
