It was originally announced that FX’s American Crime Story: Impeachment would air before Tuesday, Nov. 3, Election Day, however, there was a backlash.
Today, FX Networks Chairman John Landgraf said that “we won’t make it by September. We can’t start (production) until March 21 of this year and we won’t physically be done until October. So it’s a long production.” In total, it’s TBD as of right now. Landgraf didn’t specifically say that FX would miss an air date prior to Election Day.
Landgraf said that Impeachment missing an air date prior to Election Day doesn’t stem from the backlash following the announcement “but Ryan (Murphy’s) scheduling. It’s really his availability and the timing of the production.”
Ryan Murphy told us back in the fall that Impeachment would have a spring start due to his work on his Netflix musical Prom with Meryl Streep. Also, Murphy told us that Sarah Paulson would be taking a couple of months off to her transformation as Monica Lewinsky-Clinton scandal informant Linda Tripp.
