With a short teaser video last month, Ryan Murphy revealed that the title of the ninth season of “American Horror Story” is “American Horror Story: 1984,“ and based on the footage shown off, it appears to be something of a slasher-inspired season. Obviously, it’ll be set in ’84, and executive producer Tim Minear promises it’ll be a real treat for ’80s horror fans!
“I will tell you nothing, except that I think it’s awesome,” Minear told TheWrap. “I think it’s gonna be really scary but a lot of fun, like it always is.”
He added, “If you have a taste for ’80s horror, you’re in for a treat.”
“What I would say is that this has been an area that Ryan has talked about since I’ve known him and it’s just a real sweet spot for him. And I think it was time for him to do it.”
We don’t know much about Season 9 at this time, but it has been confirmed by Ryan Murphy that Emma Roberts will be back, starring alongside Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy.
Evan Peters will *not* be back for Season 9.
“AHS: 1984” will premiere this Fall.
