'Grotesquerie': Ryan Murphy horror series to premiere in September

FX has revealed that its highly anticipated horror drama series, "Grotesquerie," will debut on September 25 at 10 p.m. EDT. Following its television premiere, the series will be available for streaming on Hulu the next day. Created by renowned producer Ryan Murphy, known for "American Horror Story," the show is co-written by Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, and produced by 20th Television. The narrative of "Grotesquerie" unfolds in a small community plagued by a series of gruesome crimes. The story follows Detective Lois Tryon, portrayed by Niecy Nash-Betts, who becomes increasingly convinced that these crimes are deeply personal, as if someone—or something—is deliberately taunting her. As Lois grapples with her own challenges, including a strained relationship with her daughter and a husband in long-term care, she is drawn into a complex investigation. Teaming up with Sister Megan, played by Micaela Diamond, a nun and journalist from the Catholic Guardian, Lois embarks on a quest for answers. Sister Megan, despite her own troubled past, maintains a belief in humanity's potential for goodness, contrasting sharply with Lois's growing cynicism about the world’s descent into evil. Together, they navigate a dark and intricate web of clues that only deepens the mystery surrounding the crimes. The cast also features notable actors such as Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Raven Goodwin, and Travis Kelce, promising a compelling blend of talent for this chilling new series.
