Everything We Know About American Crime Story Season 2

Season one of American Crime Story swept the Emmys, and creator Ryan Murphy's brilliant idea for season two, titled American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, will likely be just as affecting. It was originally slated to be season three, preceded by a season focusing on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina starring Dennis Quaid and Annette Bening, but due to production schedules, the two have been swapped. Season two will be here before you know it, so let's take a look at all the information released about the show so far.

The Story

Tom Rob Smith wrote the script for the show, which centers on the 1997 murder of Donatella Versace's brother, designer Gianni Versace (pictured above). After returning from a morning walk, the 50-year-old was shot twice on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion by serial killer Andrew Cunanan, and died from his wounds. Cunanan wasn't caught by police, but killed himself nine days later (with the same gun, no less) while on a houseboat in Miami.

Originally American Horror Story alum Lady Gaga was in talks to play Donatella, but the role eventually went to Penelope Cruz (who definitely looks the part). She's joined by Glee actor Darren Criss (as Andrew Cunanan), Edgar Ramirez (as Gianni), and Ricky Martin (as Gianni's partner, Antonio D'Amico).

The Premiere Date

An exact date hasn't been nailed down yet, but if all goes according to plan, it will air sometime in early 2018. The first season hit FX on Feb. 2, 2016, so we wouldn't be surprised if season two came out around the same time.
