Studio 54: American Crime Story in the Works Ahead of Impeachment’s Debut

Ahead of American Crime Story‘s return next month, FX has confirmed that it is already in process of developing the potential fourth installment to Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed anthology series. Set to be titled as Studio 54: American Crime Story, the new installment will center around Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager’s infamous club in the 1970s.

“The story tells the saga of Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager who in 1977 turned their midtown Manhattan disco into an international mecca of nightlife for the rich and famous and commoners alike—renowned for its lavish parties, music, sex and drugs,” reads the synopsis. “With Rubell and Schrager’s meteoric rise came their epic fall less than three years later when the impresarios were convicted of tax fraud.”
