Ryan Murphy wants American Horror Story to go to space

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

In space… no one can hear you continuously jump the shark.

The 80's slasher themed season of the hit horror anthology series AMERICAN HORROR STORY aka AHS: 1984 hit FX back in September and just aired it's season finale earlier this week. And today we have word via creator Ryan Murphy that the show's theme has flirted with aliens, and flirted with space, and that fans have always wanted AHS: SPACE.

Murphy says:

There’s a couple of areas. Every season by Halloween, I come up with what the winner (theme) is and I already came up with an idea for season 10. There’s always the runner-ups, and I’m like ‘Hmm could this be something?’ We flirted with aliens, we flirted with space, we flirted with some things that were more interesting than others. I think that at the heart of it, it’s always about Americana.

He continues:

It would be hard to do something like that idea you mention, not that I wouldn’t. The fans write in what they want, and they’re very excited about the Coven stuff and the aliens in season 2. They’ve always wanted something in space. It’s always a mysterious process of how I come up with the idea. I really don’t even understand it. I have a list of finalists on a piece of paper and I work on all of them. It’s just where is my life when I’m working on them.

AHS: 1984 featured returning cast members from previous seasons including Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Cody Fern, Leslie Grossman, and John Carroll Lynch, along with new cast members Gus Kenworthy, Angelica Ross, Matthew Morrison, DeRon Horton, and Zach Villa. Unfortunately, AHS: 1984 did not feature series mainstays such as Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters. Weak. What did you think of AHS: 1984? Let us know below!
