FX has announced that it is shuffling its schedule for the next two seasons of American Crime Story, with The Assassination of Gianni Versace now set to premiere before Katrina.
Production is now underway on Versace, with a cast that includes Edgar Ramirez as celebrated fashion designer Gianni Versace, Darren Criss as serial killer Andrew Cunanan, Ricky Martin as Gianni’s partner Antonio D’Amico, and Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace.
Katrina – which will focus on the aftermath of the hurricane that decimated New Orleans in 2005 – will star Annette Bening as Louisana Governor Kathleen Blanco, Matthew Broderick as FEMA Director Michael D. Brown and Dennis Quad as President George W. Bush.
The Assassination of Gianni Versace will premiere in early 2018, around the same time that Katrina will begin shooting.
