The success of the first season, the "People v. O.J. Simpson" prompted FX to renew the show for season two and just recently confirmed that "American Crime Story " will still be back for a third installment. According to an article in Hollywood Reporter, the third season will look into the murder case of Italian fashion designer, Gianni Versace.

In Jul 1997, the fashion icon, Versace was shot just outside his home in Miami Beach. The killer turned out to be Andrew Cunanan, which has been held responsible for the death of four more people. Cunanan was about to be arrested in his houseboat days after the Versace murder when he committed suicide.
