Friday Night Lights star Connie Britton has lined up her next TV series project. She is set as the female lead in American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s drama pilot for FX. Murphy is set to direct the pilot, from 20th Century Fox, which will shoot next month, after Murphy and Falchuk wrap production on Glee.
FX and the producers are keeping the premise of American Horror Story under wraps, but a breakdown for the pilot lists its main characters as Ben Harmon, a sensitive therapist, and Vivien Harmon (Britton), his gorgeous wife who is a force to be reckoned with in spite of her vulnerable demeanor. Murphy and Falchuk are executive producing American Horror Story with Dante Di Loreto.
Britton continues to be attached as a producer to another FX project, a David O. Russell drama, now in development. It is unclear whether she would star in that if it comes to fruition.

She’s great. Let’s hope this series is closer in quality to NIP/TUCK then GLEE. If so, it has the potential to be awesome.
Let’s hope it is BETTER than Nip/Tuck, especially anything past its first and second seasons.
Great, another series with immense potential that will be run into the ground swiftly by Ryan himself; the guy really is his own worst enemy.
So true! His shows go about a season (Glee, Nip/Tuck two cable seasons) before they go completely off the rails with his over-the-top plotting and inconsistent character development.
Just got back from a trip to the future.
(I have a time machine.)
The phones are more powerful, and Glee was doing a very special “Bitches Brew” episode.
The 3D promo for the next exciting ep promised an all “Whitesnake” spectacular.
A truly stunning amber haired, middle aged actress with a natural grace and intelligence about her. It is just a shame so little have seen Friday Night Lights. She is the next Sissy Spacek.
Man I was hoping this would go to Jessalyn Gilsig since Murphy has screwed her out of Glee.
Isn’t the series under wraps because the script hasn’t even been written yet? Way to go, FX team, meanwhile another three or four Breaking Bads have slipped through the cracks.
A huge fan of Connie. She was the main reason I stuck with the great Friday Night Lights for so long.
