It has been nearly ten years since the seasonal horror anthology series American Horror Story first premiered on television. Audiences instantly began comparing the unique series to the likes of Tales from the Crypt or even Tales from the Darkside, especially when considering each season tends to tell its own unique storyline. But now it appears fans might be getting an American Horror Story spin-off that’d be even more similar to the above mentioned shows, especially because each episode would be its own self-contained story rather than each season. The news was recently teased by American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy, who recently participated in a Zoom conference with a large number of American Horror Story cast members. Apparently the topic of the American Horror Story spin-off – titled American Horror Stories – was one of many subjects that were discussed during the Zoom call.
Here’s what Ryan Murphy specifically said via his Instagram post regarding the call:
“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!“
There currently isn’t much more information than that, but considering American Horror Story is nearly at its tenth season – it definitely seems like the perfect opportunity to start exploring spin-off possibilities. And one hour long self-contained episodes certainly sound like an awesome way to go about doing it. The main show has already boasted an incredible amount of creativity, but there’s no telling what we could end up getting on such a smaller scale.
Hopefully we’ll learn more on that front and the next upcoming season very soon, so stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any and all updates.
