Ryan Murphy Wants to "Get the Band Together" for More 'American Horror Story'
Murphy and John Landgraf are not quite done with the series just yet.
Ryan Murphy and John Landgraf are not quite done with American Horror Story and it looks like they might be bringing more to the screen.
Landgraf, FX chairman, recently clarified to Variety that the series was “never meant” to be over. He said, “One of the reasons that I thought that American Horror Story was such a brilliant idea was because Ryan loves to invent things. He loves to create worlds. American Horror Story gave Ryan an opportunity to just create all these worlds. But having done it 12 years in a row, I think there was just an appetite for something different, something fresh. Both he and I were more excited about this, which is a complete departure, than doing another season. He explained, “It just meant, let’s rest hat, and put Ryan’s creativity and sense of invention to work doing something different now.”
Murphy confirmed that he is “always working on” an new season of American Horror Story. While he said he hasn’t “really landed” on it yet, Murphy did share, “I did have a wonderful conversation with Sarah Paulson the other day, and she was like, ‘Okay, I think it’s time we get the band back together, so let’s make some calls here.’” He added, “So I’m gonna have dinner with Sarah and Evan Peters in the not too distant future, because they’re both dear to me. I love that show. I’ll never give up on that show.” The last American Horror Story — “Delicate” — aired in April 2024.
