During a Zoom chat with the cast of American Horror Story two weeks ago, Ryan Murphy revealed that he was planning a spin-off series called American Horror Stories. Now, FX made it official. So how will a spin-off of American Horror Story work? Does an American Horror Story spin-off even make sense? It’s already an anthology show to begin with, so each season is different than the last. I’m not a fan of The Walking Dead, but I understand the logic behind the many spin-offs of that series, which focus on different characters during the same zombie apocalypse. With American Horror Story there’s nothing to really “spin-off” from.
American Horror Story is the longest-running show in FX history, and the network has already renewed it through 13 seasons, even though season 10 hasn’t even aired yet. The upcoming 10th season was pushed to 2021 due to the coronavirus, and while Murphy previously teased some sort of aquatic-themed season, he also said that he might have a completely different idea up his sleeve. All we can say for certain is that Murphy regular Sarah Paulson will once again be the season lead.
