A lot of info came out today from FX’s presentation to the Television Critics Association with regard to “American Horror Story” so let’s dig in!
First up, in addition to the Season 7 renewal announced back in October of last year, per Deadline, the network has picked up two more installments, adding 8th and 9th seasons of the horror anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
“’American Horror Story’ launched the modern limited series revolution, and – as evidenced by the most recent installment, ‘Roanoke’ – it remains as vital today as when ‘Murder House’ stunned audiences six years ago,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf. “Each new chapter is a cultural event, beloved for every new twist in imagery, style, cast, and plot.”
“When Ryan and Brad came to us seven years ago with the idea for a horror series structured as an anthology, with a group of actors returning year after year in different roles, settings, and time periods, we were in awe of the sheer originality and ambition of their vision,” said Fox TV Group Chairmen and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman. “They’ve since delivered six fantastic installments which have rightfully attracted millions of viewers, critical raves, and dozens of awards.”
But first things first… what about the upcoming 7th season? Deadline also got some scoop on that.
Series co-creator Murphy said, “There are only three people who know what season 7 is about – Dana Walden, John Landgraf, and Sarah Paulson.”
Per Landgraf, it’s “shrouded in secrecy,” but it was revealed that series regulars Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are returning, and Season 7 will be set in the modern day.
We should have lots more info on the next chapter of “American Horror Story” in the coming weeks so stay tuned! Here’s hoping they give Evan Peters a bit more to do than what we got in “Roanoke.”
