'Glee' duo Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk creating pilot for FX
FX announced Thursday that Ryan Murphy, the architect of the "Glee" phenomenon, is teaming again with fellow creator/executive producer Brad Falchuk for a new drama pilot, "American Horror Story."
The project would pair the duo once more with FX, which aired their other collaboration "Nip/Tuck" for seven seasons.
The pilot will be directed by Murphy and will begin production in April. If FX picks up the series, production would begin in late spring with a debut expected in the fall.
" 'American Horror Story' is a project that Brad and I have been discussing for a while," Murphy said in a statement. "John Landgraf and I have maintained a wonderful relationship since Nip/Tuck ended its run and he gave me an open invitation to develop a new show for the network. FX is the perfect place for this series and we look forward to a great homecoming."
Could this mean the descent of the "Glee" empire? Breathe. All is good. Or so they say: "Fans can rest assured that we haven't taken our eyes off that ball for a second. We've broken the stories for the season's remaining episodes, and we've got big things planned for our little glee club as it strives to make it past Regionals to the all-important Nationals competition in New York City," Falchuk said in a statement.

BIG MISTAKE, you can not do two shows at the same time, Glee is great we are fans to the end (as long as you do not change the cast) it would lose it's energy, even though lately there are couple of episodes that tend to lack potential, last season was all great to the end <3 although (the Lady GaGa episode) wasn't the best being it that it was too early to give her a FULL tribute episode. so if you think you can handle it go a head, but pretty soon all networks will try to direct a similar show like GLEE and they will have competition, luckily I doubt their shows will be any good it will just be COPY-CAT. I just hope you do not change the cast PLZ

This happens to most TV series after year two or three, even the best of them. The original creators, who also usually write and/or direct a lot of the early episodes, move on to other projects and their former show goes downhill fast.
I fully expected that to be the case with "Glee" also, and this confirms it. Sad, but whatcha gonna do?
