Joan Collins in AMERICAN HORROR STORY, A Barbra Streisand Netflix Variety Show & More on Ryan Murphy's Wish List

In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Ryan Murphy shares plans for his Netflix deal, casting announcements for AMERICAN HORROR STORY and More! The producer recently left his home at FOX for the biggest producer deal in television history with Netflix which has offered the producer $300 million to make the streaming giant his creative home.

Though the Netflix deal doesn't formally begin until July, the producer has already began brainstorming fun future projects.

"What if I do some cool thing," he says, "like a variety special with Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga?" It's easily the sexiest of his hypothetical concepts and also one that few besides Murphy could feasibly pull off. There's one from transgender rights activist and Pose writer Janet Mock, too, and, if he can crack it, a health and wellness version of Chef's Table, one of Murphy's latest Netflix obsessions. If you're already asking yourself how much Murphy there is to go around, you are not alone; but the notion that he could be spreading himself too thin is one that the highest-paid producer in television dismisses out of hand. The producer claims the word "more" is his favorite.

Murphy has already said that his next year will be focused on three shows - Pose, Ratched and The Politician - none of which Netflix owns; and given the enthusiasm with which he details upcoming seasons of Crime Story and AMERICAN HORROR STORY (he's throwing in Joan Collins, he says, and is "interested in Anjelica Huston"), it's unlikely he'll sit on the sidelines there either. "Netflix is just betting that ultimately he's going to want to do new things and that he can handle multiple shows," says a source, "and this is what it took to get him."

Murphy is the winner of four Emmy Awards, two PGA Awards, and was the recipient of the PGA's 2014 Stanley Kramer Award for his work on the Emmy-winning television movie THE NORMAL HEART. His other creative credits include AMERICAN HORROR STORY, AMERICAN CRIMESTORY, FEUD: BETTE AND JOAN, NIP/TUCK and SCREAM QUEENS. The next installment of AMERICAN CRIME STORY, subtitled "The Assassination of Gianni Versace' and starring Darren Criss, Edgar Ramirez, Penelope Cruz, and Ricky Martin, will premiere on FX in early 2018.
