Murphy Shuts Door on Another 'Avengers'-Style AHS Season

American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has announced that season 13's 'Avengers'-like assembly of stars will not be replicated in future installments. Murphy stated unequivocally that another season of that magnitude is unlikely to occur, emphasizing his desire to avoid repeating the format. However, he expressed enthusiasm for continuing the series indefinitely, with a particular interest in developing international versions of the show. Murphy is actively working on ideas for this global expansion.

The acclaimed AHS 13 has demonstrated significant audience engagement, achieving the best streaming debut in the show's history. The season has consistently ranked among the top 10 most-watched streaming programs since its release, marking a major success for Hulu and Disney+. While Murphy may be done with the all-star format, some cast members, including Sarah Paulson and Angela Bassett, have indicated their willingness to return for future seasons.

Murphy cited satisfaction with how the season concludes for its returning characters as a reason for not revisiting the all-star approach. He noted that some characters survive while others perish, providing a sense of finality. The series continues to be a priority for Murphy, who is already planning for subsequent seasons, with a potential pivot towards international storytelling.
