A Mogul. A Murder. A Manhunt. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story premieres January 17 on FX

Dec 7, 2017

TORONTO (December 7, 2017) The murders weren’t famous until the victim was. Starring Darren Criss (Glee), Edgar Ramirez (The Bourne Ultimatum), Academy^® Award-winner Penelope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), and singer Ricky Martin, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story premieres Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings) on FX.

Then, everyone’s favourite dysfunctional family is officially in business – no previous experience required – when Season 3 of critically acclaimed comedy, Baskets, starring Emmy^® Award-winners Zach Galifianakis and Louie Anderson, premieres Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (check local listings) on FX.

A dangerous obsession becomes an unthinkable tragedy in the nine-episode, second installment of Ryan Murphy’s critically acclaimed and award-winning anthology series, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. Iconic fashion designer Gianni Versace (Ramirez) is killed on the steps of his Miami home by serial murderer Andrew Cunanan (Criss) – but family remains and the truth cannot be buried. Cruz stars as Gianni’s sister, Donatella Versace, and Martin as Gianni’s romantic partner, Antonio D’Amico.

And saddle up for Season 3 of Baskets, because nothing brings a family together like a family business – or at least, that was the plan. Welcome to the Baskets Family Rodeo, where Christine (Anderson) is the President and CEO, despite never having seen a rodeo before, and Chip (Galifianakis) has his first full-time gig since Arby’s but can barely transfer a phone call, let alone recruit much-needed clowns. Dale (Galifianakis) is the only one in the family who has run a business, but he can’t get anyone to listen to him – not even the horses. Good thing Martha (Martha Kelly) is always nearby to lend a hand.

Viewers can catch up on their favourite FX programming next day, post broadcast, on the authenticated FXNOW Canada app for iOS, Android, and fourth-generation Apple TV.
