The next season of FX's hit show American Crime Story will be a "bracing cold slap" to Trump, according to the show's executive producer Ryan Murphy.

Following the award-winning first season that profiled the O.J. Simpson trial, the next season will focus on the 1997 murder of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace at the hands of deranged call boy Andrew Cunanan. Murphy says the season will focus on homophobia, even though Versace died by the hands of an open homosexual. 

“I think it does open a discussion, and I think it’s the perfect timing based on this president we have,” Murphy said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “One of the reasons I wanted to do this was I felt that Obama was a president who I revered. He was my president. I felt there was so much progress in terms of gay rights and rights for any marginalized group of people.”

“Suddenly, it felt like Trump is inaugurated and the door closed and there’s fear again and they’re trying to take away everything that we fought for so long. This is a bracing cold slap against the policies that the current government has. We celebrate gay people and gay creativity,” he continued. “So I think it’s the perfect time to put that on.”

Murphy said sexuality and homophobia in 1990's America will be front and center.

“The more I had read about it the more I was startled by the fact that [Versace killer Andrew Cunanan] really was only allowed to get away with it because of homophobia,” he said. “There was this great apathy about it and nobody cared and I think part of that was because it seemed like gay people were disposable in our culture.”

Murphy previously revealed that season four of the series will tackle the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton sex scandal as a right-wing plot designed to “tear down” Clinton’s presidency.
