Murphy struck a five-year deal with Netflix last year worth as much as $300 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. At the Time 100 Summit in April, Murphy said that Netflix had greenlit 10 of his projects, including four TV shows, three movies, and three documentaries.
The first of his Netflix projects, the TV series "The Politician," debuted in September to terrible critic reviews and has a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. But it has a more generous audience score of 85%.
Murphy's "Hollywood," a limited series starring Darren Criss, debuts in May. Murphy has called it a "love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown." He's also developing a "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" prequel series starring Sarah Paulson as the villainous Nurse Ratched.
