RoadToLove 12 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) So when the show returns, it isn't going to be a continuation, it's going to be a whole new house, with new actors. Not only did Ryan Murphy and company hit it out of the park with last night's season finale of American Horror Story, but today, he has revealed that the series will be a yearly anthology, each run with an entirely different house or building, and characters, and if any of the cast returns - and some will - it will be in new roles! “The (haunted) house is done. Every season of the show will be a different haunting. That’s always been the plan. Every season of the show will have a beginning, middle and end, and all new characters and setting. We’re still negotiating with a handful (of the performers) about returning. We’re also meeting with new actors whom we’ve targeted roles for. I will say that Connie andDylan will not be playing the leads of the show in the second season. We’d love for them to come back and do something, maybe a smaller role or a cameo. There are all kinds of different American horror stories to tell. There are serial killing stories, prison stories, true crime stories…Each year of the show is designed to be a little miniseries unto itself. The only thing we’re not open to doing is a season on vampires." "We too loved those characters and will mourn them and miss them. But the aspects of the show that people love, including the mystery and love story, will be there, albeit with new actors and characters. But you know, this has always been the plan from day one. We just weren’t interested in doing another season with those people trapped in the house…I’ve always wanted to do a kind of Mercury Theater approach, with a (rotating cast) and each year do kind of like a little novella. There are a lot of actors who have their own careers and don’t want to make a five-year commitment. This gives people who haven’t done TV before an opportunity. Our shooting schedule is like three or four months every season, so it’s like commiting to a film really. I get a lot of calls from film actors who want to dabble in TV but don’t know how to do it. Being on a series where all of the characters’ stories are done after a season is a way in for them. That’s been the plan from the beginning with this show.†“We make longterm deals as a matter of course. We haven’t yet picked up the option on anyone. It's a great fall Halloween show. The intent on the network side is for it to become a Halloween tradition for people who love the genre. I was very confident from the beginning that it would work. And the idea of starting from Ground Zero and rebuilding the entire show every season is exciting.†http://perezhilton.c...wo#.TvP67TVzWrY I'm kinda upset we will never find out what happens to demon baby. :( Edited December 23, 2011 by RoadToLove Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the whole end of the world thing. But Ryan Murphy is in talks with a few of the actors from season one to return in the next season but as new character. And in that interview Ryan says that in the last few episodes they already hinted torwards the theme of the next episode, maybe the religious things.

GIFs 0 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I love that he says "another haunted building", not specifically a house. I wouldn't mind a haunted hospital, library, hotel, lodge... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyVersace 9,029 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 First off, I loved the finale, and I'm glad that the Harmon's got a somewhat happy ending together, although they're all dead. This show was really great, and brought something new to television, which I greatly appreciated. Regarding the next season, I'm actually really glad it's going to be a completely new storyline. How many shows on tv have a great first season, and then eventually turns gimmicky and repetitive later on? COUNTLESS. The rotating cast idea is just brilliant, and the overall feeling of mystery and intrigue in AHS can still connect all the seasons together, though each will have a different plot. It's a great idea.

hpmcmill 2,009 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 ^ I agree! So excited to see what Season 2 is all about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquence 2 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 OMG AWESOME! A new story each season? I will miss Taissa Farmiga and Jessica Lange though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey 4 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This sort-of reminds me of Skins. After each series of the show is over they end it with a cliffhanger and then bring in a completely new cast the next season never explaining what happened. Guess they're doing that in American Horror Story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pazuzu 96 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Is this season over? I stopped watching weeks ago :sad: but I want to get back into it, but I don't remember what number episode I left off. I think the next episode had a teaser of a demon baby. and I think the ep before that was the dead breakfast club. Does anyone know what im talking about? :cry: Is the rest of the season good?

Halloween pt 1 or 2 is probably the one you're talking about. and it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit 6 Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 As soon as I saw the house was put on the market I knew next season would be a different story line. I'm excited for next season but I will definitely miss Jessica Lange :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foster 23 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I hope next season at least has Jessica Lange and the demon child making a few guest appearances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
