Ryan Murphy announces incredibly bold new TV show that has everyone saying the same thing

The plot is arguably one of the director's most ambitious yet

Television writer and director Ryan Murphy recently announced a slate of new TV shows he's working on, and one particular upcoming project has users online all saying the same thing.

The prolific TV creator has a roster of work that honestly precedes itself, with his resume somehow including both musical comedy Glee and horror anthology American Horror Story.

Recently, Murphy has sat atop Netflix's most-watched list for the past two consecutive weeks thanks to Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, that dramatizes the Menendez brothers' 1990s murder trial.

Now, while you'd think Murphy would take a break after spearheading the TV show everyone and their parents are talking about, he has no signs of stopping anytime soon and recently announced a whole slew of new projects in the works.

From a legal drama starring Kim Kardashian to a new addition to his American Story franchise, there's a lot up and coming for Murphy in the next few years - but it's perhaps one specific new show he's announced that already has audiences caught between excitement and dread.

Titled The Beauty, Murphy's upcoming original for FX is slated to star AHS veteran Evan Peters, Jeremy Pope, Anthony Ramos, and Ashton Kutcher in what he described as a 'sci-fi medical show.'

Speaking to Variety, the director disclosed: "[The Beauty] is something I've never done before, which is a sci-fi medical show about a new virus that mutates and it's sexually transmitted, that turns you into your absolute perfect self.

"And the question is, how far would you go to be beautiful? What would you sacrifice to that, and does that matter?"

Murphy went on: "That show was looking at, I call it the Ozempic culture. One little shot, and suddenly you're going to look better and feel better, and all your problems are going to go away.

"But what are you really working on? What's going on with you that you feel you need to do that? Sometimes it is health, sometimes it's vanity."

He went on to say that the scale of the production will be unlike anything he's done before saying, "It's very different. It shoots in Europe — Venice, Rome, and Paris. It's a very big budget, kind of Game of Thrones in its scale."

Upon the announcement that Murphy was making a show about people becoming beautiful after getting an STD, users on Twitter had quite a lot to say — and yes, most of it was not good.

"What [the f**k] is wrong with ryan murphy," one user wrote in a tweet that's amassed 55,000 likes.

"Men will literally create a show about a world where physical perfection is obtainable through a sexually transmitted disease instead of going to therapy," another added.

There are however some people who are understanding Murphy's creative vision and coming to his defense with one user writing, "All of you saying shit about Ryan while he's not wasting his time, it's so creepy, I love it."

A release date for the show has yet to be announced, but unfortunately, I for one am already seated.
