Another Ryan Murphy show has been cancelled by Disney, this time after just one season. Grotesquerie, which premiered on FX in September 2024, followed Detective Lois Tryon (played by Niecy Nash-Betts) as she investigated a series of disturbing crimes alongside a local nun. The detective was also dealing with her own personal issues that she was avoiding.
Created with contributions from Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, the show Grotesquerie featured Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Micaela Diamond, Raven Goodwin, and Lesley Manville in its cast, along with a special appearance by NFL player Travis Kelce. While the horror drama gained some positive attention, especially praise for Nash-Betts’ acting, it’s currently unknown if the show will be renewed.
In a recent newsletter for Puck, journalist Matt Belloni reported on Ryan Murphy’s projects since leaving Netflix and returning to Disney in 2023. He noted that Grotesquerie will not be returning for a second season, despite leaving the story open for continuation and initial talks about renewal.
The finale of ‘Grotesquerie’ left a key question unresolved, but optimistic comments from those involved suggested a second season might happen. Elsewhere, Belloni analyzes why Ryan Murphy’s projects haven’t performed as well since returning to Disney. Disney-owned ABC and Hulu both cancelled ‘Mid-Century Modern’ and ‘Doctor Odyssey’ after just one season. Additionally, the latest season of ‘Feud’ and the new series ‘American Sports Story’ on FX didn’t receive many Emmy nominations, and it’s still unknown if ABC’s ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ will continue.
Following the harsh critical reception of the Kim Kardashian-led series All’s Fair, there’s been increased attention on the work of creator Murphy. The legal drama, a collaboration between Murphy, Baitz, and Baken, currently has a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been called “the worst show ever.” Despite this, it quickly became Hulu’s biggest premiere in three years, attracting 3.2 million viewers in its first few days.
The show All’s Fair is surprisingly leaning into the criticism it’s receiving, with some viewers actually enjoying its rough-around-the-edges style. This could be a smart move, but we’ll know for sure after the first season ends and it’s clear if the show can keep people talking. However, it doesn’t look like the second season of Grotesquerie will have the same luck.
