NEW YORK (AP) --
Producer Ryan Murphy's first edition of "Feud," which tells the story of film legends Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, won't premiere until this weekend.
But already FX has announced a second installment in the "Feud" franchise. The network said Tuesday a 10-episode series will spotlight the doomed royal couple Charles and Diana. It is scheduled to air in 2018. No cast members were disclosed by the network.
Murphy, whose many successes include FX's long-running anthology "American Horror Story" and last season's hit miniseries "The People vs. O.J.
