Ryan Murphy Announces ‘American Horror Story’ Spinoff in the Works

Ryan Murphy is plotting to tell more horror stories of the American variety.

The prolific producer announced via his Instagram that a “one hour contained” spinoff of his FX anthology series “American Horror Story” is in the works. This new series is called “American Horror Stories,” and was discussed by Murphy and some core “AHS” cast members over a zoom call.

News of this new project comes just over a month after Murphy unveiled the creepy trailer for season 10 of the mothership series. Earlier this year, “AHS” was renewed for three more seasons, taking it through at least season 13.

The most recent installment of “American Horror Story” was subtitled “1984” and took place at a campground that became a murder ground. It ran for nine episodes during the fall of 2019 and averaged 2.85 million total live viewers.

The “American Horror Story” franchise kicked off in 2011 with the “Murder House” installment. Throughout its nine installments thus far, it has averaged almost 10 million total viewers per episode across linear and non-linear platforms. The series hit its 100th episode milestone during the “1984” season, and across its nine editions so far, “American Horror Story” has been nominated for 95 Emmy Awards, winning 16 trophies over the last eight years.

More to come…
