American Horror Story season 11 is called New York City, has October premiere date on FX

FX has announced that the official title of season 11 of their anthology series American Horror Story is American Horror Story: New York City – and they have unveiled a piece of promotional art to prove it! This artwork can be seen at the bottom of this article, and reveals that the premiere date is October 19th. Deadline provides more information: “The first two episodes of the 10-episode season will drop at 10 PM ET/PT on FX and will stream the next day on Hulu. They will be followed by two episodes each Wednesday for four subsequent weeks.”

Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story is an anthology series where

each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a different set of characters and settings in the same fictional universe, and a storyline with its own “beginning, middle, and end.”

Although the title and setting of American Horror Story: New York City have now been confirmed, the plot details are still being kept under wraps.

We do know that the cast of this season includes Billie Lourd, Zachary Quinto, Isaac Powell, and Patti LuPone, all of whom have appeared on at least one previous season of the show. Joining them are Sandra Bernhard, Joe Mantello, and Charlie Carver. Bernhard previously worked with American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy on Pose, Carver worked with him on Ratched, and Mantello worked with Murphy on Hollywood, The Normal Heart, and The Boys in the Band.

A while back, Powell, Lourd, Carver, and Bernhard were spotted filming scenes for American Horror Story: New York City on the streets of Manhattan’s West Village. Deadline noted that “based on the costumes and exteriors, it appears to be set in the 1970s-80s”… basically the same place and time as another FX / Murphy project that’s in development, Studio 54: American Crime Story.

Murphy, Falchuk, Alexis Martin Woodall, John J. Gray, Manny Coto, Jennifer Salt, and Our Lady J are the executive producers on American Horror Story: New York City. The series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.
