“American Horror Story”… in space?
At the Television Critics Association’s press tour today, TV Line reports tonight, “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy teased the very first details for this year’s Season 8.
“It takes place in the future,” Murphy revealed. “It’s still topical, but [set in] the future, which I’ve never done… I think people will like it.“
He added, “It’s different from what we’ve done before.”
What Murphy did not reveal was how far into the future Season 8 will be set. Will it be the distant future, or just a handful of years past the present day? We have no idea.
One thing we do know is that Season 8 will *not* be the “Murder House”/”Coven” crossover Murphy has recently promised. That may be Season 9, he hints.
“We’re working on it, but that’s not going to be [Season 8],” said Murphy. “That will probably be the one after that. We’ve already met about it and outlined it. But it won’t be next because some of the [cast members] are not available.”
