The news comes the former How I Met Your Mother star expressed hope for a guest gig on the FX anthology. "He's game; he had very specific ideas about what he wanted to do and I have specific ideas. We're working on melding those," Murphy told reporters in October, noting that if it does happen, it would be later in the season to accommodate Harris' busy schedule. "I'd love to see him and Jessica Lange go at it in a really fun way and Neil seems intrigued by that notion. We're inching forward."
The news comes after Harris closed a deal with NBC to host a variety show for the network.
