Summary
WhenAmerican Horror Storyseason 1 premiered in 2011,fans of Ryan Murphy’s previous series and thehorrorgenre were thrilled to enter this new world. Afterseason 1, called Murder House, endedin such a dark and shocking way, viewers were hopeful that the anthology series would continue for a long time. WhileAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 has been confirmed, no one knows anything about it just yet.
With so many story possibilities, from even gorier monsters to more meditations on political and societal problems, it’s no wonder fans have so many wishes for the upcoming season.WhenAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 premieres, viewers would like these plotlines, characters, and themes to be front and center.
What Do Fans Hope Will Happen In American Horror Story Season 13?
Fans shared what they want to see inAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 onRedditafter reflecting on the plotlines of the past 12 seasons. One Redditor thinks thatthe season should focus on vampires. The fan wrote:
“I would love to see a period setting, perhaps something vampire themed for a Vampire Dairies-esque thing. Something AHS hasn’t really tackled yet is something zombie themed which could also be super cool. I feel like something we’ve been missing in recent seasons is the shock factor and the practical gore so a return of the blood and guts would be amazing too!”
Sincemovies about vampires can be hit or miss, TV often feels like the right place to tell this gruesome story. As the tone ofAmerican Horror Storyis harsh and dark, vampires would fit right in. After all,the third season, Coven, was about witches, and featuring these creatures seem like the next logical and fun step. It would be cool to see how AHS approaches this horror trope and compare it toThe CW teen dramaThe Vampire Diaries. Perhaps one character could be a secret vampire, which would make them fascinating, glamorous, and cool. It’s easy to imagine a fun, big reveal happening here.
A few fans suggested thatAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 could address the important subject of the environment. Since some seasons have been about the difficult outcome of a U.S. election and the apocalypse, it seems logical to assume that the next one could also have a serious tone. One Redditor wrote:
“Maybe something about climate change/ control… weird diseases and monsters from the permafrost, mad scientists.”
On that note, Redditor @GoopTrap thinks thatAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 should be politically themed. AlthoughAHSseason 7, called Cult, focused on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential win, there is a lot more ground to explore here. This fan has a compelling idea about how the show could tell this type of serious and intelligent story once again. They wrote:
“12 Episodes each dealing with a previous season covering different eras and different presidents and first ladies played by your faves… the government experimenting on supernaturals and hell portals, aliens and vampires etc.”
As fans watchRyan Murphy’s new horror seriesGrotesquerie, they continue to wonder about whatAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 could be about. Most fans agree that the new season will feature callbacks and characters that have been used before, particularly since, as discussed onReddit, viewers wonder if the next season could be the final one. Many would be disappointed if they didn’t see some of their favorite actors coming back, even for a brief scene.
What Details Are Known About American Horror Story Season 13?
There is no release date forAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 or plot details. However, Ryan Murphy shared a bit of news in an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter. When asked about the timeframe for the new episodes, he said:
“You know, that’s an interesting question. I was talking to Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters about that the other day, so maybe sooner than you think.”
It’s exciting to hear this, especially sincethere haven’t been any updates sinceAmerican Horror Storyseason 13 was confirmed back in 2020, asEntertainment Weeklyreported. But, based on Murphy’s comments, it seems likely that Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters,who have starred in many seasons ofAHS, will come back. Hopefully, while fanscatch up onAmerican Horror Storiesseason 1, 2, and 3and check out the latest season, they will get more news about what is sure to be a terrifying and well-crafted thirteenth season.
