Telly’s Take

There’s no need to worry whether the American Horror Story TV show will be cancelled or renewed for season nine. At Ryan Murphy’s request, FX already renewed it through season 10, back in August. The cable network previously picked up season nine in 2017. Now we’re left to wonder whether the series will end with the tenth installment.

Early in 2018, Murphy signed a big overall deal with Netflix, so he may want to wrap up this successful series, or maybe he just wants to know where to take it next. The ratings have dropped over the years, so flying blind, I think season 10 could well be the end, but that’s really just a guess. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free American Horror Story cancellation, renewal, and news alerts.
