American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has teased the upcoming season of his hit horror anthology will arrive “sooner than you think”.
The FX series recently wrapped up its 12th season, subtitled Delicate and starring Kim Kardashian, back in April of this year.
This means 2024 is one of the only years a new installment hasn’t started in September or October for the first time since it first started back in 2011.
Thankfully, the prolific TV producer always has ideas churning and will undoubtedly be returning to his most popular series very soon.
However, the new season will also be starting in the wake of an intense backlash from the real-life subjects of his controversial new series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
American Horror Story boss teases new season after backlash
After teaming up with Kim and Emma Roberts for season 12, Murphy hinted some AHS favourites would be making their return next time.
He told the Reporter he “was talking to Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters about that the other day”.
Both Sarah and Evan have appeared in nine seasons of the show so far but haven’t been seen since 2021’s 10th outing, Double Feature.
Details about the next season are being kept under wraps for now, although it could revisit some of Murphy’s most beloved characters.

He previously expressed an interest in revisiting the witches from season three, Coven, after bringing them back in season eight, Apocalypse.
This could certainly pave the way for Sarah’s return, though it’s also possible she could play a totally different character in a whole new setting.
Murphy has recently come under fire for allegedly bending the truth when it came to depicting Lyle and Erik Menendez’ murder of their parents in his divisive new series, Monsters.
His follow-up statement has sparked more backlash as he admitted he has “no interest in talking to [the Menendez brothers]”.

Speaking to Variety, he continued: “It’s very good that Cooper has a relationship with them, and I’m very close, obviously, with Kim Kardashian, who has spoken to them.
“I love Kim, and I believe she does God’s work. I believe in prison reform. I believe in everything she believes in. I don’t know what I would say to them. What would I ask them? I know what their perspective is.”
The producer went on to argue his role isn’t to “advocate” for Lyle and Erik, adding “I believe in justice, but I don’t believe in being a part of that machine.
“That’s not my job. My job as an artist was to tell a perspective on a particular story. I feel I’ve done that, but I wish them well.”
