'Grotesquerie' Season 2? FX TV Show Renewal Status & Potential Cast Revealed
Grotesquerie is one of Ryan Murphy‘s latest TV show hits!
In the 10-episode drama series for FX, a series of heinous crimes have unsettled a small community. Detective Lois Tryon feels these crimes are eerily personal, as if someone—or something—is taunting her.
The series stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, Lesley Manville, Micaela Diamond, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, Raven Goodwin and Travis Kelce.
With Season 1 coming to an end, fans are curious about whether it will be picked up for a second season.

Grotesquerie has not yet been renewed for Season 2, but the show bosses are interested in having a second season.
Ryan Murphy and FX boss John Landgraf spoke out about the possibility in an interview with THR.
“We’re definitely considering doing more because, as you’ll see at the end, it’s like a series of Russian nesting dolls. You just saw the doll within the doll. Then there are more dolls inside these dolls. And you won’t even have a sense of what the base reality of it is, for sure, until you get to the finale. But then there’s a whole story that takes place in that reality which, again, is very of our reality,” John explained.
“What Ryan showed us all [so far] was a sort of nightmare, fever dream, surreal liminal version of our reality. But it’s not that far off emotionally. It captures a lot of what I feel these days. I’d love to wake up from a coma and realize, ‘Oh, it was all a dream.’ But I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon. Ultimately there is a depiction of the world we live in today that you’re going to get to, a dissection of what’s really going on and why it’s going on.”
He also addressed a potential cast.
“It’s not an American Horror Story. It’s a series about these characters, and it has a big, big, amazing cliffhanger at the end of the first season that propels you into a second season. So yeah, we didn’t want to tell people this is what to expect. Ryan and I are always restless. One of the things I’ve always admired about him is that he gets bored, and wants to do something new. He’s taken television in a new direction so many times that’s very fresh. They did Nip/Tuck before I even got to FX, and one of the reasons I came is because loved it so much and thought it was so original. So the whole notion here was, ‘Let’s genuinely drop this into the world and let people figure it out.’”
