Updated 25th February: Details added.
On top of American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Scream Queens -all three of them renewed for another round- always buzzy Ryan Murphy is expected to add another series to his plate named Feud, which totally sounds like a Murphy show indeed…
Possibly envisioned as an anthology series with a new “feud” at the center of every season, the period drama is the result of a new collaboration between Ryan Murphy Productions (based at 20th Century FOX Television where Murphy is under an overall deal) and Bratt Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, after HBO Emmy winning movie The Normal Heart in 2014. The first season revolves around the true story of the infamous career-long battle between screen legends Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, focusing on the on-set experience of the only film they ever made together : Whatever happened to Baby Jane.
Plan B’s Dede Gardner is producing alongside Murphy and Murphy’s frequent collaborator Alexis Martin Woodall, with a pilot script written by playwright Michael Zam & comedian Jaffe Cohen, who are also penning together the movie Kate, about Katherine Hepburn as a young actress trying to make her way in Hollywood. No cable/streaming platform is attached to the shopped-around project at this point but pre-production has already started for a July start.
