The season 1 finale of American Horror Stories will be available to watch on the “FX on Hulu” streaming service next Thursday, August 19th – but if you’ve been loving this season of the show, you’ll be glad to hear that it’s not ending here. American Horror Stories season 2 has been given the green light and is expected to premiere sometime in 2022.
Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck, the same duo that’s responsible for American Horror Story, this series is
a weekly hourlong anthology that features a different horror story, some of which call back to the original series, in each contained episode.
The cast assembled for the seven episode first season has included a mix of American Horror Story veterans with actors who are new to the franchise: Matt Bomer, Taissa Farmiga, Naomi Grossman, Billie Lourd, Danny Trejo, Kevin McHale, Madison Bailey, Sierra McCormick, Paris Jackson, Gavin Creel, Ashley Martin Carter, Belissa Escobedo, Aaron Tveit, Rhenzy Feliz, Kyle Red Silverstein, Amy Grabow, Kaia Gerber, John Carroll Lynch, Dane DiLiegro, Merrin Dungey, Chad James Buchanan, Ben J. Pierce, Ronen Rubinstein, Michael B. Silver, Dyllon Burnside, Nico Greetham, Charles Melton, Virginia Gardner, and Evan Peters.
Murphy and Falchuk serve as executive producers alongside Loni Peristere, Manny Coto, Alexis Martin Woodall, and John J. Gray. Tanase Popa is co-executive producer.
I watched the first two episodes of American Horror Stories, but they didn’t hook me in enough to make the show a must-watch for me… which is pretty much the same thing that happened with the first season of American Horror Story. But I probably will get around to watching all of this stuff at some point. I know Danny Trejo played a killer Santa in one of the episodes, and that is definitely something I have to see.
