The upcoming season of American Horror Story may be in flux due to the coronavirus pandemic, but a spooky new Ryan Murphy project is coming up soon.

Netflix announced on Wednesday that Ratched, a suspenseful drama series that tells the origin story of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched, premieres Sep. 18.

The streaming service also debuted the first look images for the show, which was inspired by the iconic character of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The character was first featured in the 1962 novel, and then portrayed by Louise Fletcher in the 1975 movie of the same name.
