The actress previously teased that season 10 would be her final appearance in the franchise. “I think this is my last season of Horror Story, probably. I mean, I don’t know,” she said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in September 2021. “Every time he [Ryan Murphy] comes to me with some wackadoodle-stoodle character, I tend to be like, ‘Yes! Let’s do it!’ So, I don’t know. This is the first time. So, we’ll see.”
The Future of AHS
Season 10 was supposed to be American Horror Story‘s last, according to Ryan Murphy. But in January 2020, FX renewed the show for an additional three seasons. That means there’s plenty more AHS coming! There will be a season 12 and season 13.
The spinoff series, American Horror Stories, premiered in July 2021 and returned for a second season in 2022. It is a weekly anthology series that tells a different horror story in each episode. The cast includes Matt Bomer, Gavin Creel, Charles Melton, Dylan McDermott, and more.
