This will come as little surprise given that it’s pulled in the highest ratings in FX’s history, but the network has now officially renewed American Horror Story for a sixth season in 2016.
“With the sixth installment coming next year, American Horror Story has unquestionably joined the ranks of television’s landmark series,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf (via THR). “From Murder House to Hotel, AHS has pioneered a new television form, as well as becoming FX’s highest-rated show, while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity. This is even more remarkable because Ryan and co-creator Brad Falchuk tear up the playbook every year, challenging the entire creative team to come up with something even more spectacular, frightful and entertaining. You could not ask more of an artist, their team or a series and with every new installment they deliver.”
American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has previously teased the possibility of two seasons of the show in 2016, as well as opening the door for a potential return for Jessica Lange.
