Did Ryan Murphy say American Horror Story season 13 would be the last?
Despite speculation that Season 13 could be the end of American Horror Story, creator Murphy did not announce it as the final season.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Murphy explicitly said that season 13 was not the final installment and revealed that he was already developing ideas for season 14.
“Season 13 is not the end; I’m working on season 14 as we speak in terms of, ‘What’s the idea?’ and ‘Who wants to be in it?'” he said.
As of writing this, details about the next season’s storyline have yet to be announced.
