Ryan Murphy’s groundbreaking drama, which centres around the gender-conforming ball culture of New York in the 1980s and 1990s, will return for its third season FX in the US on 2 May.
However, the season will only run for seven episodes, with its finale airing on 6 June. It is expected to come to BBC Two later this year.
