American Crime Story season 3 will see Penelope Cruz play Donatella Versace

After rumours Lady Gaga had been cast as close friend and collaborator Donatella Versace in season 3 of American Crime Story, another momentous talent has stepped up to the role.

Variety reports Penelope Cruz has signed on for the FX series, with the third season focusing on the murder of fashion designer and label founder Gianni Versace in 1997 by serial murderer Andrew Cunanan, taking its inspiration from the book Vulgar Favours by Maureen Orth.

It follows previous announcements that an A-list actor had been lined up for the part of Donatella, who took over the label after her brother’s death.
