FX has officially ordered a second season of American Horror Story—no surprise here, considering that the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk series is on its way to having FX’s highest-rated first season of any show in the history of the network, as well as storming the lexicon with the words “gimp suit” in a way unseen since Pulp Fiction. The renewal calls for another 13 episodes of the show—though FX president John Landgraf sounds optimistic for more, saying that AHS “will be scaring FX’s viewers to death for many years to come.” Of course, both the network and the show’s creators are keeping mum on whether it will follow through with its original plans to kill off its current cast and bring in a fresh family with each new season. As of now it’s quite possible you’ll spend at least another 13 episodes having a one-sided argument with Connie Britton that any stress her moving might have on her pregnancy is relatively benign compared to, you know, all the murdering.
