    LOS ANGELES: FX and 20th Television are expanding Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” (AHS) universe with two more spin-offs.

    The spin-offs titled “American Sports Story” and “American Love Story” will be developed as scripted limited series.

    According to Deadline, Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson will serve as executive producers on both shows.

    “American Sports Story” will focus on prominent events involving a sports personality and re-examine it through the prism of the contemporary world, telling that story from multiple perspectives.

    Written by Stu Zicherman, the untitled first installment will look at the rise and fall of National Football League superstar Aaron Hernandez.

    “American Love Story” will retell sweeping true love stories that captured the world’s attention.

    The first installment will depict the whirlwind courtship and marriage of John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette.

    “When Ryan Murphy came to us with these two spin-offs and the stories for ‘American Sports Story’ and ‘American Love Story’, we immediately jumped at the opportunity,” said John Landgraf, Chairman of FX.

    “What began with American Horror Story has spawned some of the best and most indelible programs of our generation, most notably American Crime Story which created a beautiful partnership between Ryan, Brad, Nina and Brad…We can’t wait to see what comes next,” he added.

    FX has also renewed another “AHS” spin-off anthology series “American Horror Stories” for a second season.

    The renewal comes ahead of the season one finale of the show on Hulu on August 19.

    “American Horror Stories” season two will premiere next year.

    Show’s co-creator Ryan Murphy made the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday.

    Murphy shared the photo of the model and captioned it: “Very excited to announce that Kaia Gerber is joining the ‘American Horror Story’ family.”

    Gerber is the daughter of supermodel-actor Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber.

    The 19-year-old’s acting credits include television films “The Last Day of Summer” and “Sister Cities”.

    Last week, Murphy announced “Double Feature” as the title of the upcoming season of the long-running and popular FX anthology series.

    The 10th season will feature two horrifying stories: “One by sea, one by the sand.” “Double Feature” stars series regulars Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross, and Finn Wittrock as well as “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin.

    Filming on the show was originally scheduled to start in early 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 production shutdown.

    Last January, Disney-owned FX renewed “AHS” for three more seasons, through season 13.
