After first announced by Ryan Murphy, FX has officially ordered an American Horror Story spinoff series. As first reported by Deadline, the green light for the series comes just two weeks after the project announcement, titled American Horror Stories, which will be a weekly, hour-long anthology series that tells a different horror story each episode.
Despite the confirmation of the spin-off, there is little known about the plots of each episode. Murphy had first announced that an American Horror Story spinoff was in the works earlier this month with a screenshot from a virtual meeting with AHS stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Denis O’Hare, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Adina Porter, Billie Lourd, and Dylan McDermott. It has not been confirmed if those original cast members will appear in the new series, though it seems likely given that many have appeared in other Murphy-created titles.
According to Deadline, the series will be part of the network’s recently unveiled original programming slate through 2021. Speaking of the 2021 slate, Murphy told The Wrap earlier this month that the upcoming 10th season could be delayed by a full year. The season had initially been scheduled to debut later in 2020.
“Well I don’t know, because a lot of what I was going to shoot was dependent on a very specific moment, it was a weather-dependent show,” Murphy told the outlet. “So now I don’t know. I don’t know what we’re going to do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do next with that show. I don’t know if I’ll accelerate another season or wait till next year to shoot this one.”
It looks as though our American Horror Story fill will have to wait until next year.
