American Horror Story Renewed for Sixth Outing

LOS ANGELES: FX has commissioned another season of Ryan Murphy’s hit anthology series American Horror Story, with the sixth installment due out on the network next year.

The show’s latest chapter, American Horror Story: Hotel, is currently airing on FX. Murphy created the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning franchise with Brad Falchuk. This year’s all-star cast includes Lady Gaga, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett.

Twentieth Century Fox produces the show, which has consistently delivered on ratings for the network.

“With the sixth installment coming next year, American Horror Story has unquestionably joined the ranks of television's landmark series,” said John Landgraf, the CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions. “From Murder House to Hotel, AHS has pioneered a new television form as well as become FX’s highest rated show—while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity. This is even more remarkable because Ryan and co-creator Brad Falchuk tear up the playbook every year, challenging the entire creative team to come up with something even more spectacular, frightful and entertaining. You could not ask more of an artist, their team or a series and with every new installment they deliver.”
