Here’s everything we know about American Horror Story exhibiting a new terrifying plot in each contained episode instead of each season. Contrary to most Ryan Murphy shows, American Horror Stories had a very compact season 1 with only seven episodes all under an hour long. American Horror Stories is also one of many series by Murphy being released within the same year, including AHS season 10: Double Feature and American Crime Story season 3.
Season 1 concluded with American Horror Stories episode 7, “Game Over,” bringing back several of the season’s characters from the premiere episode, “Rubber Woman,” as well as characters from American Horror Story: Murder House. The only real characters to return from the original series came from Murder House, but future seasons of American Horror Stories leave room for the appearance of characters and locations from other AHS installations. For the most part, American Horror Stories stuck to original premises that introduced a new variety of compelling characters.
Ryan Murphy also kept up with his trend of bringing back beloved AHS actors like Billie Lourd and Cody Fern throughout American Horror Stories’ season, hopefully leading the way for more to appear in future installations. As the excitement for more horror scenarios builds, here’s everything we know about American Horror Stories season 2.
American Horror Stories Season 2 Is Confirmed
Ahead of American Horror Stories episode 7, Ryan Murphy announced through Twitter that FX would be renewing the spinoff show for a second season. FX also revealed that American Horror Stories was the most successful launch of a new series for FX on Hulu as of yet, suggesting no end in sight for AHStories. The news of the renewal comes along with the greenlight of other Ryan Murphy projects for FX including American Crime Story: Studio 54, American Love Story (JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette), and American Sports Story (Aaron Hernandez).
American Horror Stories Season 2 Release Date
As one of the busiest television producers in Hollywood, it’s surprising Ryan Murphy can crank out so many intensive projects in such a short amount of time. According to release of American Horror Story: Double Feature and the September premiere of American Crime Story: Impeachment.
American Horror Stories Cast & Story Details
American Horror Stories season 1 brought back memorable AHS veterans like Billie Lourd, Cody Fern, and John Carroll Lynch, while also introducing a new slate of AHS-universe actors. The newcomers of season 1 included Paris Jackson, Kaia Gerber, Aaron Tveit, Madison Bailey, and Danny Trejo. Sarah Paulson was originally announced to direct an episode, but as she is returning for AHS: Double Feature, it’s possible she makes an appearance for American Horror Stories season 2. Ryan Murphy nor FX have confirmed any cast for the installation, but by going off of season 1, audiences can expect to see the return of a lot more familiar AHS faces in the future.
Ryan Murphy has also yet to announce details of future American Horror Stories season 2 episodes. Since American Horror Stories’ inaugural season integrated American Horror Story’s season 1, Murder House, Murphy may continue the trend and introduce new connections to Briarcliff Manor from AHS: Asylum. As Murphy expands the AHS universe, he will likely use several episodes of American Horror Stories season 2 to integrate the other nine AHS seasons into the compact installation.
