Ryan Murphy revealed that an American Horror Story spinoff, called American Horror Stories, is in the works!

Ryan revealed in an Instagram post featuring a Zoom call that included Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Emma Roberts, Cody Fern, and many more

Ryan posted, "'American Horror Story' cast zoom call...where we reminisced about the good times...the spin off we're doing called 'American Horror Stories' (one hour contained episodes)...when we will start filming the next season of the mothership...and other stuff I cannot print. It was so much fun and I'm glad we caught up. I miss everyone!"

The one hour contained episodes seems to mean that each hour will be its own original story. It's unclear if the show will also air on FX..

Sounds like a good idea tbh, very Black Mirror

Take a day off, Ryan!

It would be cool if they showed us more of already established seasons with these eps too somehow idk

[Saph]

so they're gonna waste good series ideas on 1 hour specials instead..

[Maxxie.]

I like the idea personally, especially if its the same ensemble in multiple episodes.

Tbf, he's only once or twice been able to sustain a story for a full season.

People complain that series drag on or loose focus after x eps, one cohesive story should be good

And if it’s very popular it could become a season idea at a later point

This actually sounds really good, a few of the series have been a bit of a trudge so unconnected stories sound great.

So it will be a bit like tales from the crypt etc? Sounds good. Will it air here on fox again and will Netflix finally get 1984?

I think Netflix will get 1984 when Double Feature starts and yeah that’s the format!

I actually think a middle ground would be best… like mini-anthologies if 3 to 4 episode long stories. An hour is a bit short for a full horror story BUT the full season arcs are always over-stuffed and come off the rails at the half way point.

Who is scripting them? The usual AHS lot? Or since they're one-shots do we have some new blood?

No idea, but looks like we’re going back to the Murder House (again)

Hopefully it's just for the poster "comes home" etc.

A bloody mess if they try to make Evan Peters look 20 again.

[Smithy]

Maybe it’ll be a family that moved in before the harmons and you won’t actually see tate

[Smithy]

[Marsh.]

First 2 episodes?

So much for this being a chance to freshen the show up.

[Smithy]

Ssksksk mte

A new horror anthology and the first TWO eps are in a location we all know

[Marsh.]

So I'm guessing she'll be one of the ghosts in the 2nd ep.

[Saph]

kinda over the murder house tbqh

[Smithy]

Unless they get Jessica Lange back it’s going to be very odd, she was such a big part of the show and Constance has such a huge connection to the house, it wouldn’t make any sense for her not to feature esp as it revolves around Tate essentially
