Ryan Murphy has been taking some much-needed time off from his American Horror Story anthology series that started back in 2011 and continues to run today. The hit series began with a bang in the first season, AHS: Murder House, starring long-time AHS actors Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Dennis O’Hare, and Jessica Lange. Peters’ and Farmiga’s love story helped sky-rocket the mature-themed show into popularity with fans old and young. The initial hype for the series did not slow down as actors like Emma Roberts and Sarah Paulson joined the recurring cast. Now, after twelve seasons of new characters and eerie settings, the Glee creator has revealed that he wants to take the series back to its roots.
Writer, director, and producer Murphy took some time off from the viral series to focus on his new FX show Grotesquerie. With the series now airing, the TV powerhouse has stated that he’s ready to come back to AHS and reunite some of the original and often recurring cast members for season thirteen. While talking to Variety, Murphy and his producer partner John Landgraf revealed that while talking about the next season, actress Sarah Paulson had a wonderful idea to throw back to the show’s beginnings by reuniting some of the staple cast members.

Now, as Murphy told Variety, the horror writer is planning to have dinner with some of his favorite actors, Paulson and Peters, to hopefully discuss the next season of the beloved series. AHS fans need not fear about the future of the anthology show, as Murphy told Variety, “I’ll never give up on that show.”
