CHICAGO – Show creators/executive producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are on quite a roll. After creating the hit series “Nip/Tuck” and putting America in a singing and dancing craze with “Glee,” the pair have created another mega hit with his horror/drama series “American Horror Story.” Now, the pair hit treat instead of trick on Halloween afternoon as FX has given the go ahead for a second season of the series.
Gamblers who bet on the new FX series lasting longer than Kim Kardashian’s wedding can cash in some winnings, as the series, which still has nine new episodes remaining in the first season, has been given a new thirteen episode order. The announcement was made in a press release from FX this afternoon in which FX President and General Manager, John Landgraf, spoke of his excitement for the show and the skill of its creators:
“It’s one thing to have the ambition and guts to reinvent a genre in a way that makes it captivatingly fresh for a broad audience—it’s something else entirely to have the craft to back that ambition up,” said Landgraf. “Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have hit the trifecta with “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee” and now “American Horror Story,” which will be scaring FX’s viewers to death for many years to come.”
Fans of the new horror series have given “American Horror Story” ratings that put it on pace to become the highest rated first season of any FX series in history. That is saying quite a lot with a network that has created “Rescue Me,” “Sons of Anarchy,” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
If you haven’t had the chance to catch any of “American Horror Story,” but think you might like to give it a shot, clear your schedule tonight and brew up some coffee (or set the DVR). Starting at 9 p.m. CST, FX will re-air the first four episodes of the series in their entirety in a Halloween marathon that will last until 1:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.
