FX Orders Third Season of ‘American Horror Story’

FX has ordered a third season of American Horror Story. The order includes 13 hours of a new miniseries from Twentieth Century Fox Television. Production of the untitled AHS will begin next summer and premiere next fall!

“With American Horror Story: Asylum, Ryan and Brad have raised the bar in every way from Murder House, the first American Horror Story miniseries,” said John Landgraf, President and General Manager of FX Networks. “And their original idea—the notion of doing an anthological series of miniseries with a repertory cast—has proven groundbreaking, wildly successful and will prove to be trendsetting. We can’t wait to see what deviously brilliant ideas they come up with for their third miniseries.”

Co-Creators/Executive Producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have not announced the new title or story for the next incarnation of the American Horror Story franchise. As was the case with American Horror Story and American Horror Story: Asylum, many of the actors will return in different roles next year, including star Jessica Lange, who won Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Emmy awards for her portrayal of Constance Langdon in American Horror Story. Starring as Sister Jude in AHS: Asylum, Lange will be moving to the Lead Actress category in the Golden Globe and Emmy awards this year.

“The American Horror Story anthology is a labor of love for all of us and we could not be prouder of the work our brilliant company of actors and everyone on the production team is doing this year,” said series creator Ryan Murphy. “To John and our friends at FX and Dana Walden and Gary Newman at 20th, we thank you for your vote of confidence — and to our loyal audience, keep watching!”

Following the success of the inaugural miniseries American Horror Story, the award-winning Co-Creator/Executive Producer/Writer/Director Murphy announced that AHS would be a new show every year with no relation to any prior version of AHS. Each book (season) will feature an entirely different theme, setting and characters, even though many of the actors will return to the program in entirely new roles.

  1. Yay! This is amazing news! AHS is probably my favorite show on TV at the moment. I honestly cannot get enough! So looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the audience next season! Loving this season so far! Fingers crossed that they keep Zachary Quinto and Evan Peters forever. Haha
