'American Horror Story' scores FX renewal until 2019; season 7 brings Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters back

It has been a great day for "American Horror Story" at the recently held Television Critics Association winter press tour. The hit horror anthology has scored multiple season renewals from FX and initial details for its upcoming seventh season have been introduced.

The renewal, which locks the show for three more seasons, was announced by John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions ahead of the cabler's sessions in the event.

"Each new chapter is a cultural event, beloved for every new twist in imagery, style, cast and plot. We are thrilled that Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and the entire creative team will continue to deliver the groundbreaking, celebrated 'American Horror Story' for years to come," the network boss said.

As for the specifics in the forthcoming one, co-creator Ryan Murphy hinted a little bit on what the season of the juggernaut series will bring to the table next revealing that it will be in contemporary backdrop this time. Following the highly secretive "Roanoke," it appears like folks behind the series have no plans of crafting a straightforward narrative. Instead, they endeavor to continue putting out mind-boggling content that would have viewers biting nails.

"There are only three people in the world who know what [the new season is about]," executive producer Ryan Murphy teased on Thursday. "And that's FX CEO John Landgraf, [studio executive] Dana Walden, and Sarah Paulson." (Excluding himself, obviously.) "I don't know [if we'll keep it quiet]. Last year was successful. I don't know if we'll do it again. I think maybe we'll release some of it earlier than we did. But I just started writing it, I haven't even cast it yet — except for Sarah and Evan. It's a modern-day story. That's all I can say," he continued.

"American Horror Story" first came into prominence in 2011 with "Murder House." Then followed by "Asylum," "Coven," "Freak Show," "Hotel" and "Roanoke" that just wrapped up late of last year. In total, the horror series has won a total of 15 Emmy awards, and single nods from the Golden Globes and AFI Awards.

No official release date has yet been disclosed for the seventh season of "American Horror Story" but fans can expect it to debut sometime later this year.
