Netflix Signs Director/Producer Ryan Murphy to $300 Million Deal Murphy is best known for his work on Glee, American Horror Story, Eat, Pray Love, American Crime Story and more. Ryan Murphy’s series have influenced the global cultural zeitgeist, reinvented genres and changed the course of television history. His unfaltering dedication to excellence and to give voice to the underrepresented, to showcase a unique perspective or just to shock the hell out of us, permeates his genre-shattering work. Murphy had previously done a lot of work for FX and Fox, both of whom were part of Disney's purchase of 21st Century Fox. I am awash in genuine appreciation for Ted Sarandos, Reed Hastings, and Cindy Holland at Netflix for believing in me and the future of my company, which will continue to champion women, minorities, and LGBTQ heroes and heroines... ...and I am honored and grateful to continue my partnership with my friends and peers at Fox on our existing shows.
