Lesley Manville's Nurse Redd stares at a gun in Grotesquerie
Ryan Murphy has addressed the confusion surrounding comparisons between his new horror project Grotesquerie, and his long-standing series, American Horror Story. While both shows share Murphy’s recognizable world-building and casting, Grotesquerie is a standalone project with a distinct tone and focus, leaning into existential horror and social commentary rather than traditional scares.
I think the thing that does overlap is my interest in my tone and my casting and the world building and all that stuff. When it came out, and I started to hear about that, because I don’t read anything, I was like, ‘What are you talking about? No, it’s nothing like that.’ So I can understand, certainly, you sympathize with people who got confused by it, because it’s nominally horror, but it’s really its own, totally different thing. I think it would have done a disservice both American Horror Story and Grotesquerie to put it in there, because it’s not just a subset of American Horror Story. It’s its own, wholly different thing.
Murphy's commitment to theme exploration might mean that viewers can expect even more variety from his upcoming projects. Whether through psychological horror in Grotesquerie, or sports drama in American Sports Story, Murphy continues to push the boundaries when it comes to his storytelling. The diversity between his projects guarantees that each series may stand on its own, offering viewers new experiences free of franchise expectations.
