When is American Crime Story season 3 released?
The third season of Ryan Murphy’s crime anthology series is officially in the works.
Season three of American Crime Story is set to focus on the Hurricane Katrina disaster which devastated New Orleans in 2005.
Having initially been pencilled in for season two, the plans changed and The Assassination of Gianni Versace was the subject of the second run, which was released in January of this year.
Season one focused on the infamous trial of OJ Simpson in 1997.
American Crime Story: Katrina was slated to begin filming in early 2018, so it’s still in the early days of production.
Season two, which airs on BBC Two, began filming in May 2017 and wrapped in November the same year before its January 2018 release.
So based on this, fans coals potentially expect to see Katrina released in January 2019.
