AHS: 1984 slashes onto FX this September!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Like many of the rest of you horror fans out there, I'm a massive fan of '80s slasher movies. Thus I'm looking forward to AMERICAN HORROR STORY's upcoming 80's slasher themed season with all my horror heart. And today the FX network themselves took to Twitter to let us all know that we should not be freaking out and that AHS: 1984 will hit September 18, 2019.

And speaking of the upcoming season of Ryan Murphy's anthology series, executive producer Tim Minear dropped some fun teases last month letting us know that this new season is going to be awesome, really scary, and a lot of fun. But not just that, Minear also promises that if you have a taste for ’80s horror, you’re in for a treat.

Minear says:

I will tell you nothing, except that I think it’s awesome. I think it’s gonna be really scary but a lot of fun, like it always is. And that if you have a taste for ’80s horror, you’re in for a treat.

He continues:

Generally, Ryan is ahead of the zeitgeist as opposed to following it. So what I would say is that this has been an area that Ryan has talked about since I’ve known him and it’s just a real sweet spot for him. And I think it was time for him to do it.

The eighth season of the anthology, AHS: Apocalypse was a crossover between Season 1: Murder House and Season 3: Coven and featured the likes of Emma Roberts, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Connie Britton, Angela Bassett, and Dylan McDermott. No plot or character details have been released for AHS: 1984 but we do know that AHS alum Emma Roberts will be returning this season along with Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy, who is playing her boyfriend. And remember to mark your calendars because AHS: 1984 hits September 18, 2019.
