With FX kicking off the promotion for American Horror Story: Hotel with the release of a first batch of images [see here], co-creator Ryan Murphy has been speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the anthology horror series, teasing two possible seasons in 2016, as well as the potential return of Jessica Lange.
“Next year we might do a fall American Horror Story and a spring,” states Murphy. “We’re doing something that we’ve never done before on the show where we’re doing two different groups of writers rooms. Some of our writers will be bouncing around but a whole different group coming in late August. The next thing we’re crafting up is very, very different than this. Not smaller. But just not opulent. More rogue and more dark.”

Meanwhile, asked whether Jessica Lange could return for a future season, Murphy responded that: “I’ve been talking to her. It’s always possible. I’m trying to deal with her play schedule. Jessica is always about the character. She’ll be back—she’s not gone forever. But that’s the fun and fresh thing about the show: sometimes somebody has to go away before you realize how much you miss them. She wants to come back we just have to come up with something.”
American Horror Story: Hotel will get underway on October 7th.
