Okay, it’s that point of the yr once I want to speak about American Horror Story, as a result of what the heck is happening?
Earlier than we get into this, I wish to say that sure, I did write an article a while in the past about Ryan Murphy protecting the Menendez Brothers in Monsters and the way I didn’t know if I may help him going ahead. Part of me nonetheless actually feels that approach. However there’s additionally one other half that does take pleasure in his extra real-life-focused sequence as an alternative of those who really feel like they glamorize murders, killers, assaulters and a lot extra.
So in some methods, I’m excited for his new reveals. However I’ll admit—the one present of his that I’ve fairly constantly watched during the last decade has been, and at all times shall be, American Horror Story.
With twelve seasons of forged members, so many alternative tales and sufficient trauma to pay for a brand new remedy invoice each time I watch an episode, American Horror Story is a type of reveals that actually adjustments the sport each time you watch it. By some means, Murphy at all times finds a option to terrify his viewers, and I suppose I can’t assist however give him props.
Nevertheless, subsequent to nothing has been confirmed about Season 13, which many long-term followers have waited for since 13 is a fairly “spooky” and “superstitious” quantity that might result in a fantastic season. However what’s been mentioned about AHS? Let’s speak about what we’ve heard.
Ryan Murphy Has A number of New And Returning Reveals Coming Up, Together with ‘All’s Truthful’
It was confirmed in Could 2025 {that a} new present from Ryan Murphy, known as All’s Truthful, would premiere on Hulu in fall of that very same yr, in keeping with Deadline. The sequence follows a bunch of feminine attorneys who depart a male-dominated agency to open their very own one, and sure, woman energy, we like to see it.
I’m unsure how I really feel about seeing Kim Kardashian in one other considered one of his reveals, however she did all proper in AHS Season 12, so I can’t complain an excessive amount of—not when there are powerhouses like Sarah Paulson, Glenn Shut, Niecy Nash and so many extra.
This isn’t even the one present Murphy has developing – there’s going to be one other sequence known as American Love Story (as a result of, after all, there may be). It’ll deal with the connection between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, as reported by Individuals. One other new sequence, titled The Magnificence, is within the works as effectively, in keeping with Leisure Weekly. There’s even one other season of Monster within the works – however I’m most likely not going to observe that.
However what does all this imply for American Horror Story?
Ryan Murphy Mentioned He’s All the time “Working” On The Present, However Apparently, Season 13 Hasn’t Been “Ordered”
So earlier than you even ask, sure, American Horror Story was renewed for Season 13. In reality, again in 2020, Deadline confirmed that FX renewed the present for 3 extra seasons. This was earlier than Season 10 aired, so it was renewed for Seasons 11, 12 and 13. And actually? If the sequence ended on Season 13, I’d not be upset about it. In reality, that may be becoming.
Even so, that’s actually one of many solely issues that we learn about Season 13: that it is purported to occur. However there hasn’t been a lot that has come out. In an interview with Selection in October 2024, Murphy admitted that he has “at all times” labored on the present, however a brand new replace from Disney TV Studios Chief Eric Schrier concerning the standing provides us pause.
Earlier than you ask, Disney owns Hulu, and since FX has a partnership with Hulu, the present is below that umbrella, in order that’s why this issues. And in an interview that Schrier did with Deadline in Could 2025, he revealed some troubling information – that Season 13 of American Horror Story hasn’t even been ordered but:
We don’t have one other incarnation of American Horror Story ordered, however it’s a franchise that, by design, can at all times be rebooted. And so when Ryan has an thought that’s nice and might determine it out together with his schedule of all of the issues that he’s doing, I may very effectively see us doing one other installment.
So now we all know that the sequence has been renewed, however as a result of there’s no set thought, the next episodes haven’t been confirmed by the community simply but as a result of Murphy hasn’t completed a narrative. I perceive the idea of rebooting the sequence, however at this level, I’m not even certain if it’s price rebooting. I believe followers actually wish to see the sequence correctly come to a detailed with its thirteenth installment after which bury it with the remainder of the corpses that this present has produced.
There Have Been Some Forged Members Who Have Expressed Their Curiosity To Return – And Some Haven’t
Even then, it’s not like Season 13 hasn’t been introduced as much as former forged members of the present. In reality, in the identical interview that Murphy did with Selection again in October 2024, he mentioned that two OGs of the unique seasons – Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson – have been all for returning. Paulson herself mentioned to Murphy that it was time to “get the band again collectively,” which means the unique forged.
What a option to ship out the present with these two and among the others that everyone knows and love coming again.
However that doesn’t imply that everybody is aiming to signal again onto this horror fest. Jessica Lange vehemently mentioned she wouldn’t return in an interview with Leisure Weekly in February 2025. Patti Lupone, who appeared in American Horror Story: Coven and in Season 10, informed Gold Derby in April 2025 that she didn’t assume she can be again both.
Even so, it’s nonetheless unimaginable to consider who may be again…however with no story or order in sight, I’m unsure if that’ll ever occur.
What This Means For The Future, We’re Not Certain
There are many upcoming Ryan Murphy initiatives to sit up for in case you are a fan of the mega-creator in Hollywood. However it’s a disgrace that considered one of his longest-running reveals doesn’t have a set date.
I’m unsure what this implies for the sequence’ future. Whereas there are many nice reveals releasing on the 2025 TV schedule, I actually did want that Season 13 was part of it. I help the concept we’ll simply have to attend and see what occurs, however a lady can dream, you realize?
For now, I suppose I can rewatch the present till Season 13 comes round… if it ever does.
