Ryan Murphy’s next project of spooky season “Grotesquerie” premieres on FX Wednesday night. A series of gruesome crimes have plagued a small community in the 10-episode drama, and it’s up to Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) to solve them.
However, Lois starts to feel that these crimes are eerily personal. Unsure where to start, the detective accepts the help of Sister Megan (Michaela Diamond), a nun and journalist with the Catholic Guardian. The two piece together clues, but as more evidence arises they find themselves more confused than before.
Travis Kelce is set to guest star in the series in a role written specifically for him. And “Monsters” standout Nicholas Alexander Chavez will play Father Charlie, head priest at the Catholic Guardian.
The series was written and created by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken. The trio executive produced the show alongside Max Winkler, Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, Peter Liguori, Nissa Diederich, Eric Kovtun and Scott Robertson.
