The future of FX’s award-winning American Crime Story has always felt like a bit of a moving target, but it seems like American Crime Stor: Katrina has officially missed the mark.
FX President John Landgraf told reporters Monday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that the Katrina season of American Crime Story was all but finished at the network. “Katrina is not still in the mix,” he said when asked about the status of the long-delayed series.
Though American Crime Story: Katrina, a season focusing on Sheri Fink’s novel Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital, was announced in 2017, it hit several stumbling blocks during the development process. When production was pushed back in June of 2017, Landgraf cited a “creative pivot” as the reason for the delay. Now, it seems FX is no longer interested in another pivot.
Never fear, though! American Crime Story is still a priority for FX, and Landgraf sounds confident that there are many more seasons to come for the successful series.

“We have three or four ideas in active development, where we’ve sort of acquired rights, we’ve done a fair amount of research, we’ve got writers working on them,” Landgraf said. “And I couldn’t tell you which one of them is likely to be ready first, but my sense is the likelihood is they’ll all be produced over time. So I think there are many more cycles of American Crime Story to come and more cycles of American Horror Story too.”
It sounds like even though Ryan Murphy is heading to Netflix, his FX properties are still chugging along; all but Feud, that is, which Landgraf confirmed is on permanent hiatus as Murphy has no ideas for the next cycle of Feud right now.
