FX's People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story became a cultural phenomenon in 2016 -- scooping nine Emmy Awards and Watch Devil’s Night: Dawn of the Nain Rouge Onlinetwo Golden Globes in addition to dominating the zeitgeist -- but its intended follow-up, American Crime Story: Katrina, is still a long way off.
At the Television Critics Association winter press tour, FX CEO John Landgraf revealed that the franchise would not return to our screens until 2018 -- in part because "it's taking us time to get material we're happy with."
Unlike People v. O.J., which was based on Jeffrey Toobin's book, The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, the source material for Katrina has proven harder to nail down. "It's not a lurid, true crime series with reenactments," Landgraf noted. "We have high ambitions for this show."
In fact, the already-announced third installment of American Crime Story -- centered around the murder of Gianni Versace and based on Maureen Orth's book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History -- will start filming beforeKatrina, even though the current plan is to air it after.
"They’re gonna air within 6 months of each other," Landgraf said. "We’ll have a long hiatus and then get back on cycle."

"Of course we wish we had Atlantain 2017," Landgraf said, but playing Lando Calrissian was obviously a "great opportunity" that they wanted to support Glover in. "Given the choice between having it on the schedule or having happy, contented talent," it was a no-brainer.
