“Grotesquerie” – Ryan Murphy Releases Surprise Teaser for Mysterious New FX Horror Series
Nobody loves a good tease quite like “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy, and this latest one is for a horror project we didn’t even know existed until, well, right now.
It’s titled “Grotesquerie,” a new horror drama coming soon to FX.
Niecy Nash-Betts (“Dahmer”) will star in the upcoming horror series alongside Courtney B. Vance (“Lovecraft Country”) and Oscar nominee Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread).
Ryan Murphy also debuted a short teaser trailer for “Grotesquerie” on social media this afternoon, which features Niecy Nash-Betts talking over a blank screen. Her character says:
“I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world. A kind of hole at the center of nothingness. What I saw today… they sent shrinks for everyone who worked this crime scene.
“You say, ‘Well, hon, evil has always existed.’ You cite some statistic about how the world is getting better. Less murder. Less global horror. ‘Never been a better time to be alive.’ It’s not getting better! Something’s happening around us, and nobody sees it but me.”
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
As for “American Horror Story,” last year’s “Delicate” resumes in April 2024.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
