"Nothing has really been done. We haven't started prep on it at all," added Hemmingway, who directed who directed five episodes of the show's Emmy-winning first season, The People V. O.J. Simpson. But is there a chance Katrina just won't happen? "Who knows. It's all up to Ryan Murphy," he said. FX and producers 20th Century Fox Television did not immediately respond to THR's request for an update on Katrina's status.
Sources suggest that the reason for the Katrina delay is that Murphy has been more invested in the Versace story and that the former was proving more difficult to realize than expected. "I just think that was [what was] at play. It was the bird in hand syndrome. [Versace] needed a lot of attention, so I think he just made the decision to do that," noted Hemingway. "Instead of do what was intended, which was doing them parallel at the same time, he chose to do them one at a time."
