With an actual horror story unfolding outside, now is the time to sit indoors and watch fake horror stories. This is the mindset of several television producers, as TV shows like a new Silence of the Lambs series are coming out soon.
When it comes to horror series on television, few can claim both the fame and infamy of American Horror Story. With just as many haters as fans, the show is praised for its scope and intrigue, and derided for numerous reasons. But for anyone who likes the idea of the show but hates the convoluted, often unsatisfying plots, there's good news.
In a recent interview, Ryan Murphy, co-creator of American Horror Story, announced that a spin-off show called American Horror Stories is currently in the works. The topic came up during a Zoom meeting of the cast and producers reflecting on the show's "good old days." Apparently there are several interesting backstage stories, at least one involving Lady Gaga. It was here that the production of American Horror Stories was made known.
The show will be completely episodic, rather than having a continuous narrative running for an entire season. What this means is that every hour-long episode will feature a completely self-contained story. It seems much of the original cast is on-board, so keep an eye on its development in between National Treasure episodes in the upcoming months. The development schedule of American Horror Stories is not currently known.
