So, did you tune in to the series finale of “American Horror Story”?

Chances are you did, as the send-off episode cashed in a gaudy 3.2 million viewers…in essence retaining its strong audience found from day one. But with much success comes change, especially given the whole parameters of the series to begin with. Remember, the plan was to keep the haunted house of the series the main star, with a new cast of characters rotating in each season. So what does that mean for Connie Britton, Dylan McDermot, Jessica Lange and Francis Conroy? Will they be back next season?

During a conference call, show creator Ryan Murphy addressed such a topic. Peep it:

“Every season of the show will be a different haunting…what you saw in finale was the end of the Harmon house and the second season of the show will be a brand new home or building to haunt. Just like this year, every season of the show will have a beginning, middle and an end.”

Even more interesting, check this one:

“There will be some new and familiar faces, playing new characters and new monsters…It’s a fun idea to do an anthology show. That was the design of the show from the beginning; it’s a really cool and interesting way to tell a horror show: every season being what an American horror is.”

So…same actors, different roles. Pretty cool shite, especially given how stacked the talent is (Lange in particular, recently Emmy nominated).

To get into a bit heavier spoiler territory, here’s what Murphy said about the next season of the show:

“There are all different types of American horror stories to tell … serial killers, true crime stories, prison stories…Every year of the show is almost like a miniseries and could be completely and radically different show. I wouldn’t do a season about vampires, but other than that everything is fair game.”

“The season we’re planning now is very different from the California house approach.”

All pretty fascinating shite. To scope it all, Click Here.
