"American Horror Story" season 5 came to an end last January. The series garnered millions of viewers, and a lot are eager to know what will happen next.

The Finale

Iris and Liz want respect, critical adoration and Five Stars for the Hotel Cortez. Reviewers from the internet site TripAdventures.com were invited to see the hotel, and they like what they see. There is a mini bar, a Japanese self-cleaning toilet and the ghost of a grunge-era heroin addict.

After a while, they are all dead. The hotel owners call for a meeting of ghouls since there seems to be a problem for murderous phantoms as they are making the hotel look good. With this happening, Sally (Sarah Paulson) is sad and lonely while Will (Cheyenne Jackson) is frustrated. However, even though everyone is down and not happy about it, Patrick March (Evan Peters) has a new mission for the hotel and declares that it will become a historic attraction on Aug. 23, 2026. By this time, the Hotel Cortez will be a hundred years old.

Moving on, they need to fix Sally's and Will's state. They both have their personal problems, but for Iris, Sally is easy to deal with. She plugs the WiFi and sets off Sally to the cyber world. Will Drake was harder to fix, even death had not fixed him. Liz then made him a fashion designer.

A lot happened in the finale and it may be a happy ending for the people in the Cortez to die. Questions now rise as to what will happen next.

What to Expect?

The producers of the series always has a new plot in store for every season. In the last season, many were suprised with Lady Gaga's inclusion in the lineup, and now, a lot of questions have been raised on what the next plot will be.

The release date for season 6 was set to Sept. 14, 2016. Usually, the series does not premiere up until October, in time for Halloween and a Halloween-themed episode. However, things have changed a bit this year. The dates have been set earlier, which suggests that the scripts are done and filming has started. Though viewers can expect the series at an earlier date, there still are questions on what the next theme will be.
