Ryan Murphy, the creator of FX’s American Horror Story and former showrunner of 20th Television’s Glee, is reportedly leaving Netflix and possibly heading to Disney, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
- While Murphy technically did not work for Disney previously, the move would see him reunited with Disney Entertainment co-chairman Dana Walden.
- Murphy previously worked with Walden when she was head of 20th Century Fox TV.
- He went on to sign a five-year, nin-figure overall deal with Netflix, during which he created Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Watcher.
- Prior to his work with Netflix, Murphy had a hand in hit series like American Horror Story, Glee, Scream Queens and 9-1-1, all for, at the time, 20th Century Fox Television.
- He then left 20th Century Fox Television, now 20th Television, in 2018 and signed a $300 million contract with Netflix.
