Ryan Murphy's American Crime Story finally returned for a second season last night with the premiere of The Assassination of Gianni Versace, which chronicles the legendary designer's murder by Andrew Cunanan in Miami in 1997.
The first episode didn't waste any time; the opening scenes show Versace (Edgar RamÃrez) starting his day just before Cunanan (Darren Criss) shoots and kills him on the steps of his mansion—and that's just in the first eight minutes.
As the episode continues, we're introduced to Gianni's protective sister, Donatella (Penelope Cruz), and his devoted partner, Antonio D'Amico (Ricky Martin). But we also get a glimpse into Cunanan's mysterious past.
Episode 2 dives into the days leading up to Versace's murder, following Cunanan as he arrives in Miami and stalks the fashion designer. The trailer for the new episode shows Cunanan presenting a fake passport with the name Kurt DeMarrs. "I'm a fashion student," he lies.
The following montage shows Cunanan loading a gun, his face on an FBI Most Wanted flyer, and him nearly naked, wielding a pair of scissors, and rushing toward a masked man lying on a bed. "Andrew Cunanan. Twenty-seven years old. He's killed four men," an officer says in the background.
Next we see Donatella speaking to her brother as he's lying in bed. "What is Versace without you?" she asks. "It will be you," Gianni answers, as scenes from a Versace fashion show flash onscreen.
