Grotesquerie Review 2024 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
When Ryan Murphy sets his sights on a new horror series, audiences know they are in for something as terrifying as it is unique. Best known for co-creating the iconic American Horror Story franchise, Murphy is back to give fans another horror show, this time with Grotesquerie. The series, which premieres September 25 on FX (streaming on Hulu the next day), will send shivers down your spine with its eerie plot and stellar cast.
Murphy has never been one to shy away from the macabre and Grotesquerie is no exception. We finally have more details about the mysterious series, which FX has been teasing since February, starting with a cryptic teaser trailer. The show features a fantastic cast led by Niecy Nash-Betts as Detective Lois Tryon, a seasoned investigator who falls into a web of horrifying crimes. The cast also consists of Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville, Micela Diamond, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Raven Goodwin and, in a surprising twist, NFL star Travis Kelce. Who knows, maybe Taylor Swift will have a cameo!
“A series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community. Detective Lois Tryon (Nash-Betts) feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone — or something — is taunting her. At home, Lois grapples with a strained relationship with her daughter (Goodwin), a husband (Vance) in long-term hospital care and her own inner demons. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of Sister Megan (Diamond), a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. Sister Megan, with her own difficult past, has seen the worst of humanity, yet she still believes in its capacity for good. Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil. As Lois and Sister Megan string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.”
Murphy’s knack for creating complex, flawed characters seems to be carrying over to this new horror project. Lois and Megan seem like they will bounce off of and reflect each other in interesting ways, with one fueled by fear and the other by faith.
Produced by 20th Television, the 10-episode series was created by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken. Executive producers include Alexis Martin Woodall, Max Winkler, Nash-Betts, Vance, Peter Liguori, Nissa Diederich, Eric Kovtun, and Scott Robertson. Winkler, Murphy, and Woodall share directing duties along with Elegance Bratton, making sure each episode is packed with the atmospheric tension and psychological horror that we expect from Murphy’s genre work.
As September 26 draws near, horror enthusiasts will no doubt be marking their calendars for the debut of Grotesquerie. With its all-star cast, gripping plot and the creative genius of Ryan Murphy behind it, whether you are a die-hard American Horror Story fan or just a fan of the horror genre on television, this is something you can’t miss.
