Ricky Martin is headed back to television for Season 3 of "American Crime Story", Deadline reports. The Latin super star will co-star opposite Penélope Cruz, Edgar Ramírez and Darren Criss, which have been the only names confirmed up until now. The third season of the Ryan Murphy-produced show will focus on the assasination of Gianni Versace. Ramírez is set to play the designer in the 10-episode series, with Martin set to play Versace’s longtime partner Antonio D’Amico. Spanish actress, Cruz, will give life to Donatella Versace.
The show is based on the book by Maureen Orth, "Vulgar Favors", which is described on Google Books like this: "Two months before Andrew Cunanan murdered Gianni Versace on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion, Maureen Orth was investigating a major story on the serial killer for Vanity Fair. Now the award-winning journalist and Vanity Fair special correspondent tells the complete story of Cunanan, his unwitting victims, and the moneyed, hedonistic world in which they lived and died, culled from interviews with over 400 people, and details from thousands of pages of police reports."
"In chilling detail, Maureen Orth reveals how Andrew Cunanan met his superstar victim...why police and the FBI repeatedly failed to catch Cunanan...why other victims' families stonewalled the investigation...controversial findings of the Versace autopsy report, and more. Here is a late-century odyssey that races across America from California's wealthy gay underworld to modest midwestern homes of families mourning their slaughtered sons to the celebration of decadence that is Versace's South Beach. It is at once a landmark work of investigative journalism and a riveting account of a sociopath, his savage crimes, and the mysteries he left along the way."
