Murphy will of course executive produce, with Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson (The Hunger Games) and Brad Falchuk. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (The People vs Larry Flynt) have signed on as screenwriters and we know that Murphy will direct at least the first episode.
Gooding Jr recently wrapped filming Clement Virgo's The Book of Negroes with Ben Chaplin and Aunjanue Ellis. The movie is scheduled for release on Canada on 7 January 2015.
