While it’s early days and there’s no writer attached just yet, the series adaptation does have Kaia Gerber (“Bottoms,” “Saturday Night”) meant to star and Max Winkler, who has worked on Murphy’s “American Horror Story,” “Monster,” and “Feud,” set to direct the pilot episode of the series.

Kaia Gerber has been cast for a role in Ryan Murphy's series adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis thriller The Shards. Who else will be cast?

I am a reluctant fan of both Ryan Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis for completely different reasons. But they don’t really strike me as two men whose work would go together well. But I guess we’re about to find out with The Shards.
