In a
not at all surprising move, FX has renewed Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's hit
anthology series American Horror Story for a seventh season.
"Ryan, Brad and their team of remarkable writers
have done an amazing job of keeping ‘American Horror Story’ endlessly
inventive, shocking and entertaining and we are honored to move ahead with them
on the seventh installment," said John Landgraf the CEO of FX Networks and
FX Productions in a statement. "The sustained success through six
installments only proves how intensely the series resonates with fans. ‘AHS‘
confronts our deepest fears with unmatched suspense and style. Each new
installment is a cultural event, hotly anticipated for its theme, imagery, cast
and twists."
American Horror Story: Roanoke, is the latest season in the series, and it
is still very much shrouded in mystery with no plot, official cast list, or
episode title available to help us make sense of it all. So far what we do know
is that it mimics one of those ghost "reality" shows with Andre
Holland, Lily Rabe, and Adina Porter talking about their otherworldly
experiences while Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, and Angela Bassett
star in dramatic reenactments of those same experiences. However, Murphy has
teased that there is a shocking twist coming our way in Episode 6 that is likely
to flip the season on its head.
Back in September, Murphy
revealed that he was in fact working on another mysterious season but was not
sure when it would air.
"It’s my secret
season," Murphy told EW. "I’ve
been working with a writer on a season that only he and I know. It’s like a
two-year project that we’ll continue to work on the sly and not tell anybody. I
don’t know when it will [air] but it’s also an experiment. It’s a different way
of doing it. It’s one person writing all episodes. I don’t know if it’s going
to work but it’s like, well, let’s try that. We might get them done and shoot
them on the sly and drop it."
Now however, it seems
that this "secret season" is likely to be 8 and not the announced 7, which
according to Murphy will shake things up for fans in that it is a "narratively strange idea."
Premiering in 2011,
American Horror Story has won 15 Emmys of its 77 nominations.
