LOS ANGELES, NOVEMBER 6, 2013 – FX has ordered a fourth installment of American Horror Story, the Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning miniseries franchise from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, it was announced today by John Landgraf, CEO, FX Networks and FX Productions. The network has ordered 13 episodes from Twentieth Century Fox Television.
“Put simply, Ryan Murphy is a master television producer,” said Landgraf. “Time and time again he reinvents the form. What he, co-creator Brad Falchuk and their producers Dante Di Loreto, Tim Minear, Jennifer Salt, James Wong, Brad Buecker, Jessica Sharzer, Douglas Petrie, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, Alexis Martin Woodall and the entire production team and cast responsible for the American Horror Story franchise have done is nothing short of extraordinary. Every year, they create a riveting and brilliant new miniseries. AHS: Coven is the best yet, and I have no doubt that the next installment will be even better.”
Of the first three installments of American Horror Story, Coven has far surpassed the ratings of its predecessors, Murder House (2011) and Asylum (2012). Season-to date, AHS: Coven is averaging 7.74 million Total Viewers, 5.46 million Adults 18-49 and 3.14 million Adults 18-34, which are increases of +77% in Total Viewers, +67% in Adults 18-49 and +60% in Adults 18-34 over AHS: Murder House. Coven is outpacing AHS: Asylum by +83% in Total Viewers, +71% in Adults 18-49, and +68% in Adults 18-34. American Horror Story: Coven is easily on pace to record the highest average delivery of Adults 18-34 of any program in FX history. Coven’s first two episodes were the highest-rated single telecasts in delivery of Adults 18-34 in FX’s history. Coven also ranks as the highest-rated miniseries of 2013 in delivery of Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34.
Nine all-new episodes remain in American Horror Story: Coven airing Wednesdays at 10:00 PM ET/PT with the finale scheduled to air on January 29. In the fifth episode, “Burn, Witch. Burn!” - (Airs TONIGHT, 10:00 PM ET/PT) – Besieged by Marie Laveau’s (Angela Bassett) army, Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) unleashes a new power. Fiona (Jessica Lange) and Myrtle (Frances Conroy) clash over control of the Coven. Madame LaLaurie (Kathy Bates) is confronted by old ghosts. (Written by Jessica Sharzer; Directed by Jeremy Podeswa)
Since its inception, the American Horror Story miniseries franchise has combined for a total of 34 Emmy Award nominations. AHS: Murder House tied for the most nominations of any program in 2011 with 17, and AHS: Asylum received the most nominations of any program in 2012, also with 17.
American Horror Story: Coven tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Jessica Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.
American Horror Story: Coven features an extraordinary cast including Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Frances Conroy, Lily Rabe, Denis O’Hare, Jamie Brewer, Alexander Dreymon, Josh Hamilton, Patti LuPone, and Danny Huston. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto, Tim Minear, James Wong, Jennifer Salt, and Brad Buecker are Executive Producers of American Horror Story: Coven. It is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television.

Yay! I was waiting for this.
ReplyDeleteYes ! Great news. I'm happy now.
ReplyDeleteYES!
ReplyDeleteI need the Witches of East End renewal now.
Jessica Lange said this will probably be her last season. :(
i would like to see them do a season that is set in the future, like 2034 or something.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I can't wait what next season's storyline will be.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea !
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Can't wait to see what the theme is gonna be.
ReplyDeleteI hope next season is different setting also with some of the same cast as different roles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shocker! I'm super excited.
ReplyDeleteSame! I'm waiting for Witches of East End, Haven, and White Collar renewals now.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jessica changes her mind on next season being her last.
Excellent. The show definitely pushes boundaries but does so in a good story context. On top of it all there's been some great acting. First things first, please tell me Jessica Lange is still starring.
ReplyDeleteShe will leave the show after next season. In a recent interview she stated that she even plans on retiring from acting altogether.
ReplyDeleteI know it is, I watch the show< I mean Also, meaning I want it to remain like that, as sometimes they change it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS SHOW! Las two seasons were amazing! Hope they keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI never doubt it! I love Lily Rabe the most! ;) especially in season 2. Also, please get ZQ back for the 4th season, kthx.
ReplyDeleteAwesome news! I have no idea what next season's theme would be, are there any options left at all? haha
ReplyDeleteLange wouldn't stick around if they did. She has said she has no interest in revisiting any of the characters she has played
ReplyDeleteI hope we get a good mix of people who come back. The usuals (Lange, Paulson, rabe, conroy, peters) plus some from each season who hasn't been in all them. I like how Murphy says that they don't always right characters with actors in mind and they then think who can play after ( like McDermott playing lamas son in season 2, I get the feeling that he would have been hank in this season if he has come back) my only wish is Taissa don't come back.
