Ryan Murphy doesn’t take things lightly.
This is a man who, in the last two weeks, has launched and revived six television programs, including the Joshua Jackson-led Doctor Odyssey on ABC, Grotesquerie on FX, which stars Niecy Nash and Travis Kelce, and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story on Netflix. He also has another show, American Horror Stories, launching later this month, and he is immediately embarking on a run that includes All’s Fair, starring celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close, reuniting with Evan Peters in FX sci-fi series The Beauty, and the first installment of American Love Story about John F. Kennedy Sr.
The information demonstrates the benefits of such a “intense” workload.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story has received 194.5 million views in its first full week on Netflix, according to information released earlier on Tuesday. This places it at No. 1, with almost 32 million views overall since its debut.
On ABC, 9-1-1 and Doctor Odyssey helped the Disney-owned network become the No. 1 network for entertainment on Thursday, September 26.

Murphy told Deadline, “I feel a lot of gratitude because what I tried to do and what everybody in my company tried to do was daunting.”. I’m not sure if six shows in two weeks has ever been accomplished before. “.
Claiming that everything “came together after the strike,” he returned to Disney with a new overall contract, having recently brought Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story to Netflix to critical acclaim. “Titles for the fall was what everyone wanted.”. It was their goal to resume production. I replied, “Ok,” when they asked. Even though the calendar was crazy, I said, “I think we can do it.”. And we actually did. What I love about it is that you go into doing something like this and you think, well some of them are going to work, right? I know the audience is going to look for them, but the fact that they all worked, all became number one, and they’re all still working, that is kind of mind-blowing, I did not expect that. It pleases me that other people enjoy the shows I make, as I only produce content that I want to watch. “.
“I’m overjoyed that I was able to rehire a large number of crew members following the strike. I’ve spent 23 years working with many of them. Many people suffered during that extremely difficult period for our company. He went on, “I’m always amazed at how many people are able to maintain their jobs, put food on the table, and receive benefits. I’m also grateful for that chance.
Murphy noted that The Love Boat, which he claims was his childhood favorite program, is reminiscent of Doctor Odyssey and stated that he is “always interested in doing the opposite of what I’ve done.”.
Instead of waiting for a back-nine order as he might have in the past, Murphy isn’t waiting for a full season of Doctor Odyssey with eighteen episodes ordered by ABC. He expressed optimism about the show’s chances of receiving a second season, given its current success.
Friday is when he takes over as director of All’s Fair. Along with Kardashian and Close, the legal drama series on Hulu stars Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, and Naomi Watts. Murphy characterizes it as a “high-end, glossy, and sexy adult procedural.”. “.
It is my interpretation of a legal drama. You’ve never seen a legal drama quite like that, he continued.
The Beauty for FX is a drama series that he then goes into. It is based on a graphic novel about an STD that renders its victims beautiful. Alongside Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, and Ashton Kutcher star. Murphy said the special effects would take a year to complete and that the filming would take place in Europe.
“I’m fortunate to be able to do this, and I’m excited that I just keep switching between genres,” he continued.
In addition, he has future plans, such as beginning filming American Love Story on FX, which centers on the romance between John F. Kennedy Sr. and Carolyn Kennedy, during the spring season.
When I plan my life year by year, I sort of look at it and get scared if I zoom out too far. I am aware that I will be performing in All’s Fair, The Beauty, and JFK Jr. in the upcoming year. and the love tale starring Carolyn Bessette, which we begin filming in the spring. That brings me to this time next year, since that is what is happening. He continued, “I’m like, okay, I’m good.
Murphy still had a number of shows on Disney platforms, such as 9-1-1 and Feud, after leaving the company in 2018 to join Netflix. Likewise, there are still several Netflix series that he may bring back, such as Monsters and The Watcher, which was renewed for a second season in November 2022.
Ian Brennan is a fantastic partner in all of my endeavors there. I love doing Monsters with Ian, and we will keep doing that. We’re committed to doing more seasons of it, so we’ll carry on doing it for as long as they want it, which I know they do. About The Watcher, I am ignorant. Maybe Ian is doing that, I believe. He continued, “I feel like I’m good because I have Monsters and my six Disney shows all on my plate.”.
This all occurs at the same time that Murphy’s debut television series marked its 25th anniversary. Leslie Bibb and Carly Pope starred in the WB television series Popular, which debuted on September 29, 1999, and ran for two seasons.
Making that show was an absolute hell on earth, so to go from there to here, in my opinion, is remarkable. There were some terrible executives on that show. I had an opinion that they did not share. They took issue with my sexual orientation. My sensibility was not of importance to them. It was not a good experience, and I felt very wounded from it because I felt like this is very personal, because my point of view is being canceled. I was noted and noted and noted, and it ended after two years,” he said.
That kind of activity was unheard of among gay people 25 years ago. They put you in a box, told you what to do and what not to do, and forbade you from doing that. He continued, “It’s an amazing evolution that I could do so many things and have the support of so many people like [Chairman of FX Content & FX Productions] John Landgraf and [Co-Chairman, Disney Entertainment] Dana Walden.”.
Murphy hinted two years ago to Maureen Dowd of the New York Times that he might “retire and launch a line of beeswax products,” which is clearly not going to happen presently.
Indeed, he declared, “I will never retire.”.
