It looks like the immediate royal future of Ryan Murphy's grudge-based FX series, Feud, has been dethroned.
The follow up to Feud: Bette and Joan, which starred Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon, was supposed to center on Princess Diana and Prince Charles during the period between their divorce and Diana's untimely death.

Though the show had already been cast, with Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) as Diana and Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey) as Charles, concerns about the subject matter of the show has caused FX to halt production. "We did [have it cast] but we decided we didn't feel we had the material right and decided not to move forward with it," said FX CEO John Landgraf to The Hollywood Reporter.
Season one stars Lange and Sarandon were even set to return to the second season of the series as executive producers. Though Murphy has since moved to Netflix with a massive new multi-year deal, Landgraf was confident that he still has an active interest in continuing the Feud series, though there's no word who the subjects of the next season will be.
