Ryan Murphy, creator of shows like American Horror Story and Glee, is back with a new show, this time one with an… interesting premise.If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to Ryan Murphy, it’s that you can always expect a show that people will talk about from him, even if maybe it’s not for the right reasons. Most recently the television maker has been working on season two of the Netflix series, The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. But just yesterday, FX ordered a new show from Murphy, this time one based on the 2016 graphic novel, The Beauty, a comic where you can achieve physical perfection by contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
