But during the TCA Winter Press Tour 2017 early this month, FX announced that it has renewed “American Horror Story” for two more seasons.
John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions, said in a statement that “American Horror Story” launched the modern limited series revolution and as evidenced by the most recent installment, “Roanoke,” it remains as vital today as when “Murder House” stunned audiences six years ago.
Landgraf added that each new chapter of “American Horror Story” is a cultural event, beloved for every new twist in imagery, style, cast, and plot, details Screen Rant.
He said that the network is thrilled that Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and the entire creative team will continue to deliver the groundbreaking and celebrated “American Horror Story” for years to come.
The “American Horror Story” franchise has won 15 Emmy Awards and dominates FX’s top telecasts of all time. In the 18 to 34 years old viewer demographics, 12 of the top 15 most-watched FX telecasts are “American Horror Story” telecasts.
The network also said that “Roanoke” was the top-rated limited series on TV in 2016 and overall ranked just below “The Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones” with adults in the highly-coveted 18-49 and 18-34 age demographics.
