We've lived in the 'Murder House', escaped the 'Asylum', protected the 'Coven' and we will attended the 'Freak Show', but what will we do next?


AHSFreakShowSarah Paulson as 'Bette' and 'Dot'

After smashing their previous ratings record, FX has announced they have ordered a 13-episode FIFTH season of Ryan Murphy's 'American Horror Story'. Topping the premiere episode of last year’s 'Coven' by 38 percent in total viewers, 'Freak Show' recorded 10 million viewers for their first episode (versus 7.27 million for 'Coven'). Taking out the most-watched telecast in the network's history, plans are being made to air the fifth installment of the franchise in October 2015.

Teasing that star Sarah Paulson (the two headed lady in 'Freak Show') "really loves" her character, Murphy already knows what his next season will be about, but isn't spilling all the beans (keep an eye out for Easter eggs in the first two episodes of 'Freak Show', they hint at where season five will be set).

Sadly, Jessica Lange has said that season four will be her final with the series, but we know Murphy won't go down without a fight. ""I'm never accepting [that she will leave] ... Before I was met with a really quick 'no' and now I'm hearing, ‘let's keep talking.' So that's a promising sign. I think if I presented her with the right character, it could work. That's my hope. I'm sending bribes every day!"

AHSFreakShow3Evan Peters as 'Jimmy Darling'

With 'Glee', 'Nip/Tuck' and 'The Normal Heart' under his belt, Ryan Murphy has established himself as an incredible craftsmen (the evidence is in audiences reeling for the next season when the current season has just begun).

AHSFreakShow1Michael Chiklis as 'Strongman'

So where will Murphy go next? MTV has suggested 'Space', 'Opium Den', 'Hollywood' and 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars' (yea, I'm not sure on the last one either).

'American Horror Story: Freak Show' airs on FX and ELEVEN.
