While several TV shows are delaying or halting production because of the pandemic, the TV industry is still planning ahead. Ryan Murphy, creator of popular TV series such as, Glee and Nip-Tuck, recently announced on an Instagram post on Monday, that a spinoff of his show American Horror Story is in the works.
AHS is an anthology horror series that has been airing on FX since 2011. Each season focuses on a different premise and storyline, usually played by a reoccurring cast of actors. This series has promoted actors like Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, and Evan Peters to A-List status, and even megastars like Kathy Bates and Lady Gaga have appeared on the show. AHS has also had another spinoff, American Crime Story, which is a historical drama anthology series, that started in 2016 with a depiction of the OJ Simpson trial.
While Murphy has not released any details about the spinoff's premise or genre, he did say that instead of each season having a storyline, the spinoff will have "one hour contained episodes." Murphy reportedly hosted a Zoom call with AHS' cast and crew, where they reminisced about the fun times on set, and when people could actually meet up in person. During the call, Murphy announced the exciting news of a spinoff. While the call has not been publicly released, fans are hoping that it will appear on YouTube or some other platform. Especially with the recent Zoom reunions of other TV series, like Lizzie McGuire and Jessie.

Netflix's Tiger King Unexpectedly Caused A Rise With Animal Print
This quarantine has been a great time to binge watch the new Netflix docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness.
This quarantine has been a great time to binge watch the new Netflix docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness. The show gives a look of the personal feud between private zoo keepers Joe Exotic, the owner of G.W. Zoo, and Carole Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue. The show is riddled with exotic cats, alleged murder, gun loving hillbillies, and a mix of colorful fashion. Animal print has already been in trend, but not like this. Animal print was the statement piece as we are used to. The show has so many fashion statements, from cat prints to sequins, or an overwhelming combination of both.
Carole Baskin is introduced dressed in a pink tie-dye shirt with hints of cheetah print all over. Her house is filled to the brim with cat prints: cups, vanity tables, rugs, curtains. Her entire closet has some sort of cat print. Wearing cat prints is what she calls her “uniform.” Even her luggage is cat print! One of the viewers first introductions to Joe Exotic is him laughing, showing his mullet. Almost all his shots were with him and a tiger. His western take on fashion is filled with animal print button downs, sequins, and neon eyeliner. This seven episode true crime docuseries was to address the loud drama surrounding Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin. Unexpectedly, the fashion was what stole the show. Animal print has been on rise yet again as if it already hasn’t been the hottest trend.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
