'American Horror Story' Season 6 Spoilers: Ryan Murphy Already Planning Two Seasons a Year
Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" (AHS) has been an undeniable hit. Over the seasons, it has gained a steady fanbase that has been anticipating what Murphy and his team could come up next. The latest season of "American Horror Story: Hotel" has only been three episodes in, and without Jessica Lange's superb acting, it's yet to be determined whether the show could survive further. Of course, to make up for Lange's absence, the show has been adding amazing stars into the roster such as Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer.
Whether it's ambitious to claim that more seasons await the FX series, Murphy is nevertheless preparing for the next one as he claims that he already has some ideas brewing. He also shared that he gets ideas from pitches among the cast, such as the last one, entitled "Freakshow," which was contributed by none other than Lange. This has encouraged recurring actor Evan Peters to also pitch his topic entitled "American Horror Story: Space." However, despite Peters' constant attempts, Murphy has continuously turned the idea down, while sharing in the EW Fest that "It's American Horror Story, not Intergalactic Horror Story." However, Murphy did say that what the show can do to take account of Peters' idea is to probably have a setting in an American space station or a spaceship.
Back in August, Murphy shared with Entertainment Weekly his plans of doing more seasons in a year as he is quoted saying, "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."
Aside from "American Horror Story," Murphy has also started to prepare for two seasons of the yet-to-be-aired "American Crime Story," as well as another season of "Scream Queens," despite the continuous drop in ratings.
