Murphy said that they are not interested in doing a trial-of-the-week or murder-of-the-month theme on “American Crime Story.” He explained that the TV series is about tackling crimes and events that have some sort of social importance, which is why they got interested on Katrina, details the Den of Geek.
The producer and showrunner disclosed that they have been researching about it heavily but quietly a year before they even started writing about it.
He said that the scope of the “American Crime Story: Hurricane Katrina” will also be vast but it does not mean that it would not be intimate.
Murphy revealed that Season 2 is going to be between 13 and 15 episodes long so it is going to be very big and every episode shall have a theme just like the first season.
He explained that they will follow a cast of characters from before the storm hits up to its aftermath and they are spending a lot of time, energy, and resources on it.
The executive producer also assured fans that “American Horror Story” Season 2 shall not have the same soap opera dynamics that was played out in Season 1.
He added that most of the players were not big names as the devastation affected a portion of the population who do not get the same kind of attention as the big names normally do, and most of the victims of Katrina are still putting their lives back together to this day.
