American Crime Story Films in South Beach

Have you been to South Beach lately? If so, you may have noticed some filming going on near the former home of late Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace. Versace was murdered nearly twenty years ago by Andrew Cunanan. The crime is serving as the inspiration for the third season of American Crime Story, an anthology series airing on the FX network expected to air in 2018.
The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story premiered last year and won multiple Emmy Awards. Each season focuses on different true events and will be followed by a Hurricane Katrina focused season this year.
One of the people behind the creation of American Crime Story is Ryan Murphy, an Emmy Award-winning screenwriter, director, and producer. Murphy has ties to South Florida as he is a University of Miami graduate and once served as a writer for the Miami Herald. Some of the series he has created or produced include Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, and this year’s Feud.
American Crime Story crews will be filming in various parts of Miami Beach including Ocean Drive, near the North Beach Bandshell, and more. Keep an eye out and you may spot some of the actors like Darren Criss or Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz who will portray Versace’s sister Donatella.
