Well, here’s a familiar scene: After months of rumors, leaks and rampant speculation, a new season of American Horror Story has at last been confirmed.
Season 11 of Ryan Murphy’s horror franchise will be titled American Horror Story: NYC, FX officially announced Thursday. The new season will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 19 with the premiere of the first two episodes. (Episodes will stream next day on Hulu.)
The cast will include a mix of Horror Story newbies and returning favorites, including: Zachary Quinto (who previously appeared in Seasons 1 and 2 of AHS), Sandra Bernhard (who co-starred in Murphy’s Pose) and Charlie Carver (who has collaborated with Murphy on Netflix’s Ratched and The Boys in the Band). Rounding out the ensemble are fellow Ryan Murphy Repertory Players Joe Mantello, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Isaac Powell, Denis O’Hare and Patti LuPone.
AHS: NYC joins previous Horror Story chapters, including Murder House (Season 1), Asylum (Season 2), Coven (Season 3), Freak Show (Season 4), Hotel (Season 5), Roanoke (Season 6), Cult (Season 7), Apocalypse (Season 8), 1984 (Season 9), and Double Feature: Red Tide and Death Valley (Season 10).
Additionally, the second season of AHS offshoot American Horror Stories, a series of standalone anthology episodes with occasional Horror Story connections, wrapped its second season on Sept. 8.
Fans have certainly been clamoring for intel about this hush-hush season, to the point where multiple fan accounts released a joint statement about going on strike over the network’s withholding of information. In their defense, prior to this announcement, the only on-record info about the show’s next installment was that it was slated to air… sometime this fall.
Your thoughts on this long-awaited American Horror Story announcement? Hopes and fears for Season 11? Whatever’s on your mind (and we know there’s plenty!), drop it in a comment below.
spoiler tv posted the dates and episode titles last month. do catch up
TVLine reports on verified news, not speculation. Two different kind of sites.
Whatever happened to being nice? The show kept things secret for a reason. I really don’t need spoilers anyways. It’s fun to just experience it. On that picture I hope they don’t go to the dance floor in that as I’d hate to jump into them dancing and get poked. Ouch!
NYCer here. I have a few friends who are going to be in the Fire Island sequences. Very excited to seem them in AHS.
Was the second Charlie Carver supposed to be Max Carver or just a mistake?
I also wondered if it was his twin brother or just oversight
Wonder if there will be a third season of American Horror Stories…. Season 2 was better than season 4.
That was supposed to say season 2 was better than season 1
That was supposed to say season 2 was better than every other season.
I’m not trying to indulge myself at the expense of an unfortunate typing error (I’ve certainly made my share) but your reply to the correction of the previous comment had me laughing so hard!
An NYC themed series without Chloe Sevigny?!? Cancel it
Hey KC, perhaps you should create and develop your own series since you seem to have so many opinions on what makes good tv. Best of luck. I’ll be waiting for your pilot.
Don’t worry other Cam, I don’t think KC was 100% serious.
…. so you can’t recognise sarcasm and irony in a comment. Maybe you shouldn’t be on the internet.
NYC – a horror show indeed.
This should be fun.

You got to admit, AHS sure knows how to make a poster.
The more bondage, the better, apparently.
Honestly, it looks like Hannigram fan art for Hannibal…
It’s supposedly about a group of LGBTQ+ friends that are getting killed one by one by a serial killer
Season 11 sucks. Worst one you have ever made.
