American Horror Story

‘American Horror Story’ is Ryan Murphy’s ongoing anthology horror series; each season tells a self-contained story set in a different location with a different group of characters (but many of the same actors, including Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, and Sarah Paulson). Lange won Emmys for the show’s first and third seasons; Kathy Bates joined the cast during season three, and won an Emmy as well. Lady Gaga will appear on the show’s upcoming fifth season, subtitled “Hotel,” which will debut on FX this fall.

Cast: Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy

'American Horror Story' Season 7 Teases Monster Republican

Rubber Man. Bloody Face. The Minotaur. Twisty. The Addiction Demon. Republicans? That seems to be the message sent by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy’s latest tease of Season 7, as some new artwork shows off what might be our new killer, along with a serious case of elephantiasis.

Billy Eichner Joins 'American Horror Story' Season 7

American Horror Story has its usual air of mystery intact for Season 7, but if any addition will make you scratch your head, it’s Billy Eichner’s.

'American Horror Story' S7 Has Trump and Clinton After All?

The American Horror Story got too real with suggestions that Season 7 would follow the 2016 election, Trump, Clinton and all, until Ryan Murphy clarified the political connection as allegorical.

'American Horror Story' Season 7 Won't Have Trump or Clinton

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy gave us a real nightmare with word that Season 7 would follow the 2016 election all over again, but it seems we can sleep a little easier.

'American Horror Story' Season 7 Tackling 2016 Election?

As if the American Horror Story name didn’t prove topical enough during the 2016 election, Season 7 may make the connection literal. Creator Ryan Murphy claims that next season will follow “the election that we just went through,” but how specifically might he mean?

'American Horror Story' Crossover Season Details Revealed

It’s getting harder and harder to track Ryan Murphy’s ideas for future American Horror Story seasons, but one standout idea saw the first year’s Murder House crossing over with the Season 3 Coven. We won’t see said mashup in Season 7, but Murphy nonetheless reveals exactly what would bring the stories together, and how absurd Sarah Paulson’s workload would be.
