One of the great surprises of the 2011 fall TV season was FX's American Horror Story, a serial horror drama that paid tribute to many movie horror classics while telling its own seriously messed-up 12-episode storyline in the process. Week after week, the show revealed dark events surrounding the Harmon family, their neighbor Constance Langdon, and the numerous ghosts populating their haunted Los Angeles home.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season of the series will feature an entirely new location and a mostly new cast. "Some of them will be coming back," said creator Ryan Murphy. "I’m talking to several of them and we’re in negotiations. There will be familiar faces, but there will also be new faces on the show." Murphy plans to announce the show's new storyline and cast sometime in February.
Interestingly, Murphy mentioned the actors that return will be "playing completely different characters, creatures, and monsters. It’s a really fun idea to do an anthology show. That’s the way it was designed from the beginning. Every season, there will be a new haunting and we’ll have a new overriding theme."
This might mean we've seen the last of Jessica Lange's Emmy-worthy performance as Constance, even though the character was only one of two regulars to actually survive to the end of season one.
It's definitely the end of "The Murder House," though. According to Murphy, the set has already been struck to move "onward and upward." Maybe the series could shift to Westfield High School, where Tate Langdon massacred fifteen people with a shotgun?
