Here’s a sentence I’ve used many, many times before: Ryan Murphy has another anthology series in the works. And this time, the series revolves around a timely theme.
The guy behind “Feud,’’ “American Crime Story,’’ “American Horror Story,’’ and the upcoming “The Politician’’ is planning to take on the #MeToo movement with a show tentatively called “Consent.’’ Murphy, who talked about it in a New Yorker profile, says “every episode would explore a different story, starting with an insider account of the Weinstein company.’’ The show would also take on the Kevin Spacey case. As with the anthology series “Black Mirror,’’ each episode of “Consent’’ would be written and directed by a different person.
Will the show be for “Netflix’’? Murphy’s headline-making $300 million deal with the streaming service begins July 1. He has already committed “The Politician,’’ a comedy that will portray a different campaign each season, and “Ratched,’’ about the “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’’ nurse, to Netflix. And he is premiering “Pose,’’ an FX show about the New York drag scene, on June 3.
