Airing on FX, American Horror Story has gotten a lot of press but the ratings actually dropped last season. Will they continue to fall in season three? Could it be in danger of being cancelled? We’ll have to wait and see.
This season of American Horror Story takes place 300 years after the Salem witch trials. There are few witches that remain and they are in danger again. The cast includes Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Emma Roberts, Denis O’Hare, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Lange.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually on Thursdays.
11/6 update: FX has renewed AHS for a fourth season.
Final season averages: 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.0 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you still like the American Horror Story TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season four?
Love the show maybe this network can pick up witches of east end too
I know a lot of people who watch this show . I love how they repeat it during the night because we all work different shifts and none of us want to miss it.
American Horror Story: The Coven is hands down my favorite show on TV and I might.just.cry myself to sleep at night for all eternity if they cancel my show! Woe is me 🙁
I was so bored with all the reality tv that I rarely watched it.then I turned on American horror story,and I was hooked.im a 58 year old women in Northern California,and I adore your shows,please keep them coming..
Love It!!!
From the first week results it sure appears the ratings are way up again. I think this series/anthology is brilliant. And the acting superb. Jessica Lange is brilliant in every role – and this season I am excited to see Bates/Basset added to the already fantastic ensemble.
The teasers for the third season had me a bit “worried” because they didn’t really pique my interest like the previous 2 seasons. But after watching the first episode – I’m In!
