American Horror Story is an American horror television series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Described as ananthology series, each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a disparate set of characters and settings, and a storyline with its own "beginning, middle, and end."[1]
The first season, subsequently subtitled Murder House, takes place in Los Angeles, California during the year 2011 and centers on a family that moves into a house haunted by its former deceased occupants. The second season, subtitled Asylum, takes place in Massachusetts during the year 1964 and follows the stories of the inhabitants of an institution for the criminally insane. The third season, subtitled Coven, takes place inNew Orleans, Louisiana during the year 2013 and follows a coven of witches who face off against those who wish to destroy them. The fourth season, subtitled Freak Show, will take place in Jupiter, Florida during the year 1952 and will center around one of the few remaining Americanfreak shows.[2]
The series is broadcast on the cable television channel FX in the United States. The first season premiered on October 5, 2011, and concluded on December 21, 2011. The second season premiered on October 17, 2012 and concluded on January 23, 2013. The third season premiered on October 9, 2013, and concluded on January 29, 2014.[3][4][5] On November 6, 2013, FX renewed American Horror Story for a fourth season of 13episodes, which began on October 8, 2014.[6]
American Horror Story has been well received by television critics. The repertory cast have been critically acclaimed, particularly Jessica Lange,[7][8][9] who received the Emmy Award, the Golden Globe Award, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for her performance.[10][11][12] The series draws consistently high ratings for the FX network
