For fall, FX sets horror, mystery and “Fargo”

This fall, the FX people will deliver something that is becoming scarce – new, scripted TV shows.
That will include a double shot of horror – in time for Halloween – plus a crime-solving mini-series and a “Fargo” mini-series (shown here with Dave Foley).
Even if the strikes are settled, TV will mostly lack new, scripted shows this fall. The exceptions will be premium cable (HBO, Showtime, Starz) and streamers, which work far in advance
FX occupies both worlds. Some of the shows it produces air only on the Hulu streaming service; others debut at 10 p.m. on basic-cable (FX or FXX), then reach Hulu the next day.
Currently, FX has two comedy series – “Breeders” on Mondays and “What We Do in the Shadows” on Thursdays – plus a “Justified” crime mini-series on Tuesdays. It produces the acclaimed comedy-drama “Reservation Dogs,” Thursdays on Hulu; on Aug. 30, the 14th and final season of the animated comedy adventure “Archer” will start on FXX. Newly announced are:
— “American Horror Story: Delicate,” Sept. 20, FX. This is the 12th chapter of the series, with different characters each time. The first half will be on five Wednesdays; the second half will be in 2024.
— “American Horror Stories,” Oct. 26, Hulu. All four stories arrive on the Thursday before Halloween.
— “Murder at the End of the World,” Nov. 14. Emma Corrin, an Emmy-nominee as Princess Diana in “The Crown,” plays a tech-savvy guest who probes a murder after she and others are invited to the home of a reclusive billionaire. The seven-parter was partly filmed in Iceland.
— “Fargo,” Nov. 21, FX. The much-honored series finally has its fifth installment. This one is set in 2019 Minnesota and North Dakota, where a seemingly typical Midwestern housewife (Juno Temple) is hiding her past and is sought by a relentless lawman (Jon Hamm).
In addition, FX has two documentaries. “Welcome to Wrexham” starts its second season Sept. 12, with actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney financing a comeback for one of the oldest British soccer franchises. “How to Fix a Pageant” is Sept. 29 under the “New York Times Presents” banner, focusing on the Miss USA pageant.
