Summary

Fans eagerly await American Horror Story season 13 details, with Ryan Murphy hinting at collaborating with Sarah Paulson.
A new season of Monster focused on Lizzie Borden does not pique interest compared to the anticipated AHS season.
Although Murphy has multiple TV projects in the works, viewers hope to see AHS season 13 explore a new eerie mystery.

Although the corny but fun medical drama Doctor Odyssey isn’t coming back for a second season, Ryan Murphy is hard at work on plenty of other TV shows. Between the over-the-top procedural 9-1-1 and the upcoming spinoff 9-1-1: Nashville, he’s had a packed schedule. Now that a new season of one of his shows has been announced, I’m curious about what that means for American Horror Story season 13. The anthology series has followed a fairly steady release schedule since season 1 premiered in 2011, but season 12 aired from fall 2023 to spring 2024, and fans are still waiting for more eerie episodes.

Murphy recently said that he and American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson are “cooking up something cool,” and that brief update made me happy. But I don’t think another season of his true crime show is necessary, and I think AHS season 13 is more intriguing.

American Horror Story season 13’s plot hasn’t been shared, and it could take cues from a memorable and scary American Horror Stories episode.

I’d Rather See American Horror Story Season 13 Than Monster Season 4, Which Will Focus On Lizzie Borden

Deadline reported that Ryan Murphy is working on Monster season 4, which will focus on the terrifying story of Lizzie Borden, who was charged with the murder of her stepmother and father but acquitted. While Ryan Murphy has created several successful and interesting shows, from the soapy medical drama Doctor Odyssey to the beloved horror spinoff American Horror Stories, Monster isn’t one of his best. Besides the controversy surrounding Monster season 1, which is about Jeffrey Dahmer, the series is certified Rotten. The show has an overall rating of 51% on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 1 has 57% and season 2, which focuses on Lyle and Eric Menendez’s story, has 45%.

While true crime continues to be a popular genre, I don’t think Monster is a necessary anthology series. Instead, I want to see American Horror Story season 13 sooner rather than later, and I think the next season could tell a true crime story. It would be fascinating to watch Sarah Paulson, a popular star of the franchise, play a reporter investigating a mystery that people thought could never be solved.

According to IndieWire, Monster season 2 was less popular than season 1, although both had high ratings. But even though people keep tuning in to see what true crime story Murphy has taken on next, I think American Horror Story is a much better series, and it needs to continue. The anthology has explored countless tropes from the horror genre and has featured all-star talent such as Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, Paulson, and Lily Rabe. It’s also fun to see celebrities such as Lady Gaga, who played a vampire in season 5, Hotel, pop up from time to time. Monster isn’t fun and speaks to the problems with the popularity of the true crime genre. It’s not entertaining to watch a fictional version of Dahmer, and since most are familiar with Lizzie Borden’s story, it seems unnecessary to center an entire season of TV around her.

It would be fascinating to see American Horror Story dive into these criticisms of the true crime genre and focus on a made-up case. I’m much more interested in finding out what scary story Murphy wants to tell next, especially since I’ve been impressed with solid American Horror Stories episodes like “Bestie,” which I’m sitll thinking about.

American Horror Story Season 13 Details Remain Scarce, But Ryan Murphy Has A Busy Year Ahead

Besides his recent social media comment that he and Sarah Paulson are working on American Horror Story season 13, Ryan Murphy hasn’t shared other details on the upcoming season. There is no release date, and it’s unclear what the main plot will be.

However, fans who have enjoyed Murphy’s recent shows like the genuinely creepy Grotesquerie will be glad to know he has more projects in the works. In an October 2024 interview with Deadline, the showrunner explained the various TV shows he has in the pipeline. He said:

“I sort of look at my life, I plan it by year, and if I zoom out too far then I get freaked out. I know in the next year of my life, I’m doing All’s Fair, The Beauty and the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette love story, which we start shooting in the spring. That’s happening so that takes me to this time next year. I’m like, okay, I’m good.'”

Murphy is exploring a few different genres: All’s Fair is a legal drama, The Beauty is a dark fantasy, and American Love Story is about JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s romance that ended in tragedy. I’m hopeful that while Murphy is hard at work on these other shows, he’ll still make American Horror Story season 13 at some point in the next few years.
