EPISODE 9 – Alone
The hunt for spree-killer Andrew Cunanan comes to a frantic end.
DETAILED SYNOPSIS:
THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY profiles spree-killer Andrew Cunanan (Darren Criss), whose cross-country path of destruction earns him a spot on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List, before his murder of international fashion icon Gianni Versace (Edgar Ramirez) on the steps of Versace’s South Beach residence in 1997. Based on the book Vulgar Favors by Maureen Orth, the series examines how cultural homophobia and prejudice delayed law enforcement’s search for Cunanan, as well as Versace’s relationship with his sister and muse Donatella (Penélope Cruz). THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY is a story of failed ambition, about how the pursuit of an “American Dream” ended in murder and suicide.
Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Brad Falchuk and Tom Rob Smith are executive producers of THE ASSASSINATION OF GIANNI VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY. It is written by Tom Rob Smith, and Ryan Murphy directed the premiere episode of the series, which stars Darren Criss, Edgar Ramirez, Penelope Cruz and Ricky Martin.
