‘American Horror Story’ Season 10 Pushed to 2021, FX Orders Spinoff ‘American Horror Stories’

FX is pushing the 10th season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” to next year, the cable channel revealed Tuesday, while announcing its slate of programming through 2021. In other “AHS” news, FX has placed a series order for Murphy-created spinoff “American Horror Stories,” a “weekly anthology series that will feature a different horror story each episode.”

Along with “AHS” and its offshoot (which Murphy first teased earlier this month), FX’s roster through the coming year includes freshman series “A Teacher,” “The Old Man,” “Y: The Last Man,” an untitled anthology from B.J. Novak, “A Wilderness of Error,” “Hip Hop Untold,” “Hysterical” and “Pride,” which will join renewed series “Atlanta,” “American Crime Story,” “Archer,” “Better Things,” “Breeders,” “Cake,” “Dave,” “Fargo,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Mayans M.C.,” “Mr Inbetween,” “Pose,” “Snowfall,” “The Weekly” and “What We Do in the Shadows.”

FX has not set premiere dates for those series, which are up in the air due to pandemic-forced production shutdowns.

The Chris Rock-led fourth season of “Fargo” — which was postponed in March, when Chicago-based filming had been completed on eight out of 10 episodes — could still potentially air in 2020, though it would obviously be dependent on the ability to resume shooting, an individual with knowledge tells TheWrap.

There is currently no time table for Murphy’s “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” originally set to air this fall, or Season 3 of Donald Glover’s “Atlanta,” which was scheduled to film this spring.

In April, Murphy told TheWrap his plan for “American Horror Story” Season 10 was a “weather-dependent” theme, so the inability to shoot during the summer because of COVID-19 might prompt him to accelerate another idea (as the anthology has already been renewed through Season 13) or hold the 10th season until next year — and it looks like he’s going with the latter now.

The previously announced cast for “AHS” Season 10 includes series newcomer Macaulay Culkin, as well as “AHS” alums Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Sarah Paulson (as first reported by TheWrap), Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross and Finn Wittrock.

We believe the continued strength of our original series coupled with the growing awareness of FX on Hulu as our streaming platform will make the FX brand stronger and more relevant and accessible than ever before.”
