Ryan Murphy’s mega-bucks deal with Netflix is looking like a very smart investment.
Back in 2018, Netflix signed Murphy — whose previous television hits included “Glee” and “American Horror Story” — to a five-year deal worth a reported $300 million.
That deal paid off big time this week as two Murphy-produced Netflix series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and “The Watcher” rocketed to the top of the streamer’s most-watched English-language series.
