Just a few months remain until the premiere of the upcoming season of American Horror Stories, which is now under development. Similar to American Horror Story, Stories offers an alternative format that subverts the conventions of TV storytelling.

Stories chooses to include new stories in each and every episode, whereas the original show presented fresh plots and characters with each new season. Every episode will bring more terror and more cast members. Season 3’s four episodes debuted on October 26.

Even though season 3 of American Horror Stories just came out, FX is still willing to release new episodes frequently.

Media saw FX Networks Chairman John Landgraf speak at a Television Critics Association session. Season 4 will premiere in time for Hulu’s forthcoming Hulaween event, according to Landgraf.  This indicates a timeframe for release of October 24–27.

The Swift Progress Of Season 4 of American Horror Stories

The announcement and the release date of American Horror Stories season 4 are coming up soon. It will be necessary to create a whole season’s worth of horror stories, which is like condensing entire films into a few short episodes that have to be shot and edited in a matter of months.

That means that the deadline is getting closer and closer, which could cause issues for the producers. However, the rapidly approaching release date does make some sense if the season is going to be another mini-season.

It will take time to construct a four-episode season, but given the eight months from February to October, it should be feasible. Alternatively, the season might have started even before Landgraf made his statement, in which case the chronology would be far less hurried.

Episodes could be filmed concurrently, with distinct casts and sets for every one. That would guarantee that the production timeline can be extended even without running the risk of losing the Hulaween slot, even though it would probably result in higher production costs. American Horror Stories will return for a second season in October, no matter how things go with production.
