The fifth season of the FX show "American Horror Story" may have just shut the doors to the Hotel Cortez, but new details for the next season have already started to come to light. Over the weekend at FX's Television Critics Association winter press tour, network President and General Manager John Landgraf revealed some new information on the next season of the show.
The season will be set in the present day, and will include flashbacks. "It's set in the present although with echoes of the past," Landgraf said, according to Variety. "It's set in two time periods...but principally in the present."
Landgraf did not go into further details about the next season of the show or either new or returning cast members because, he said, "Ryan [Murphy] will kill me if I tease anything."
Murphy briefly spoke about the next season of the horror show in November 2015 and revealed that Season 6 would not be anything like "American Horror Story: Hotel."
"The next thing we're crafting up is very, very different than this," Murphy told Vanity Fair. "Not smaller. But just not opulent. More rogue and more dark."
Season 5 of "American Horror Story" was the first one that Emmy Award-winning actress Jessica Lange was not a part of. She was replaced by Lady Gaga, who was asked to join the show for another season by Murphy.
"Lady Gaga is so brilliant in AHS Season 5 that yesterday I officially asked her to join Season 6. Say yes @ladygaga!," Murphy tweeted back in October.
Season 6 of "American Horror Story" is expected to premeire in the Fall of 2016 on FX.
