Grotesquerie wrapped up last week, and let’s face it – it was one of the most disappointing finale episodes of any Ryan Murphy show. And that’s a bold statement, considering they’re nearly always a disaster. With such an outrageous decision to have a crap cliffhanger like that, it’s natural that conversation around the future of Grotesquerie and the potential for season two is rife right now. Niecy Nash-Betts just said some wild info about Grotesquerie season two – even though the show hasn’t even had its future renewed yet.
With angry fans wanting answers over that ending, here’s everything Niecy Nash-Betts has spilled on Grotesquerie season two as we all scratch our heads and wonder why the hell Ryan Murphy just did that to us.
Speaking to The Wrap, Niecy Nash-Betts spilt “We talked about a second season before we ever filmed the first page of dialogue. Ryan always has a plan. I’m privy to doing things, but you don’t want to give any spoilers.”
She also explained more about the disorientating nature of Grotesquerie, saying “I feel like Grotesquerie did what art is supposed to do. It’s supposed to create a conversation. Not only are we questioning what is real, what is an alternate universe, but it also speaks to everything that is happening in the world right now. It speaks to women losing agency over their own bodies. It speaks to climate change and global warming. It speaks to mental health. It’s mirroring the things that are happening in the world right now.”
There’s been a lot of chat about the similarities between Grotesquerie and American Horror Story, or the perceived notion of such similarities. Like the show’s creator, Niecy said “I feel like the shows that I’m a part of with Ryan are different in tone and intentions than some of his other shows. A lot of people showed up to Grotesquerie and said, ‘Oh, I thought this was another version of American Horror Story’, and it’s absolutely not.”
Ryan Murphy wasn’t happy with comparisons either. Speaking to Deadline about the comparisons between Grotesquerie and American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy “strongly disagrees” and clapped back saying ““Grotesquerie has nothing in common with American Horror Story. It just does not. I think it’s the difference between doing Don’t Look Now and Halloween would could never have fit into that show. It was never considered for that. It’s a much different animal
“I think the thing that does overlap is my interest in my tone and my casting and the world building and all that stuff,” he said. “When it came out, and I started to hear about that, because I don’t read anything, I was like, ‘What are you talking about? No, it’s nothing like that.’”
