FX NetworkFX has a companion series for “American Horror Story” heading our way, and it’s an anthology miniseries entitled “American Crime Story,” the first season of which will focus on the O.J. Simpson case.

Per Time, Season 1 of the series, which will begin production next year, is to be based on Jeffery Toobin’s true-crime book The Run of His Life and focus on both Simpson’s attorneys and the prosecutors. The show’s creative team includes writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who also wrote The People vs. Larry Flynt.

Murphy said, “This is an exciting project for me, as I’ve been looking for the right property which could serve as an extension of the ‘American Horror Story’ brand I love so much. The O.J. case was as tragic as it was fascinating—it seemed like everyone had a stake in the outcome. It was really the beginning of the modern tabloid age.”

Not sure how Dread worthy this will end up being, but we’ll keep you posted!
