The People Vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

[Roman Brady]

It was previously reported that American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy was developing a companion series called American Crime Story. The new anthology series will focus on true crime stories throughout history, and they are starting with O.J. Simpson. The first season of the series will be called American Crime Story: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson, and they’ve cast Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding Jr. as Simpson. American Horror Story alum Sarah Paulson has also joined the production as prosecutor Marcia Rachel Clark.



According to THR, the 10-episode first season “examines the O.J. Simpson trial as told from the perspective of the lawyers, and is poised to explore the chaotic behind-the-scenes dealings and maneuvering on both sides of the court. More significantly, it will display how a combination of prosecution confidence, defense wiliness and the Lapd’s history with the city’s African-American community gave a jury what it needed: reasonable doubt. »

I liked the sound of this, AHS seems to have peaked creatively other than delving into comic book territory there is really nothing else to cover.If this series is the beginning of the end I just hope season 2 is Pablo Escobar


Ps is Ryan Murphy built for this? I don't remember oj having any homo escapades so he can't shoehorn any unnecessary homoness into this series

 

[King Poetic]

Must watch for me

 

[Young Bishop]

Interesting

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Never watched the show but I will watch this one

 

[Jello Biafra]

I can't wait till the full blown musical number in the court room.
There is no way Murphy won't insert one into this.

Cuba looks nothing like OJ and that Sarah lady looks nothing at all like Marcia Clark.

This should be great for all the wrong reasons.

 

[blackestofpanthers]

Why are cacs so fascinated with OJ and his trial?

 

[thenatural]

LMAO. This is an actual thing? Wow, I assumed this was a Coli special.

We'll see how it goes, but people are still paying their sins for the OJ trial. Now the dude that dabbles in horror anthologies and glee clubs wants to put his spin on it. I don't know


I do want to check out ABC's American Crime this March. Joint should be some fire.
