Thrilled with franchise-best ratings for the current third season, FX quickly confirmed “American Horror Story” for a fourth installment.
That installment, set to bow in the fall of 2014, will again include thirteen episodes.
“Put simply, Ryan Murphy is a master television producer,” said FX’s John Landgraf. “Time and time again he reinvents the form. What he, co-creator Brad Falchuk and their producers Dante Di Loreto, Tim Minear, Jennifer Salt, James Wong, Brad Buecker, Jessica Sharzer, Douglas Petrie, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, Alexis Martin Woodall and the entire production team and cast responsible for the American Horror Story franchise have done is nothing short of extraordinary. Every year, they create a riveting and brilliant new miniseries. AHS: Coven is the best yet, and I have no doubt that the next installment will be even better.”
Currently four episodes into its run, third installment “Coven” is delivering the show’s best ratings to date. According to FX, “AHS: Coven is averaging 7.74 million Total Viewers, 5.46 million Adults 18-49 and 3.14 million Adults 18-34, which are increases of +77% in Total Viewers, +67% in Adults 18-49 and +60% in Adults 18-34 over AHS: Murder House (season 1). Coven is outpacing AHS: Asylum (season 2) by +83% in Total Viewers, +71% in Adults 18-49, and +68% in Adults 18-34.”
A new episode of “AHS: Coven” airs Wednesday; the season finale is slated for January 29.
