LONDON, U.K. (SEPTEMBER, 6 2024) – Today, Disney+ set the premiere date and released official key art for FX’s “Grotesquerie,” Ryan Murphy’s new horror drama series, which will premiere with the first two episodes on September 26 exclusively on Disney+ in the U.K. The first season will include ten episodes.
In FX’s “Grotesquerie,” a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community. “Detective Lois Tryon” feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her. At home, Lois grapples with a strained relationship with her daughter, a husband in long-term hospital care and her own inner demons. With no leads and unsure of where to turn, she accepts the help of “Sister Megan,” a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. Sister Megan, with her own difficult past, has seen the worst of humanity, yet she still believes in its capacity for good. Lois, on the other hand, fears the world is succumbing to evil. As Lois and Sister Megan string together clues, they find themselves ensnared in a sinister web that only seems to raise more questions than answers.
The series stars Emmy® Award-winner Niecy Nash-Betts as “Detective Lois Tryon,” Emmy® Award-winner Courtney B. Vance as “Marshall Tryon,” Emmy® Award-nominee Lesley Manville as “Nurse Redd,” Tony® Award-nominee Micaela Diamond as “Sister Megan,” Nicholas Alexander Chavez as “Father Charlie,” Raven Goodwin as “Merritt Tryon” and Travis Kelce.
Written and created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, “Grotesquerie” is directed by Max Winkler, Murphy, Alexis Martin Woodall and Elegance Bratton. The show is executive produced by Murphy, Woodall, Baitz, Baken, Winkler, Nash-Betts, Vance, Peter Liguori, Nissa Diederich, Eric Kovtun and Scott Robertson. It is produced by 20th Television.
