Here's what fans can expect from American Horror Story season 10, including a release date and story details. The horror anthology series created by Ryan Murphy saw its most recent season, American Horror Story: 1984, serve as a love letter to the 1980s slasher genre of horror while also throwing in frightening elements stemming from that decade.

What started out as a Friday the 13th situation with seemingly innocent camp counselors being targeted by a serial killer turned into a free-for-all bloodbath in AHS season 9. Margaret (Leslie Grossman) was the mastermind behind the multiple massacres and pinned them on the innocent Mr. Jingles (John Carroll Lynch). With Richard Ramirez (Zach Villa) thrown into the mix, the body counts quickly grew. Camp Redwood then turned into purgatory since the victims found themselves stuck on the grounds as ghosts, except for Brooke (Emma Roberts), who was wrongly convicted for carrying out the murders. Even as the years went by, those still around were hellbent on revenge.

American Horror Story: 1984 featured the return of series alums Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Cody Fern, Leslie Grossman, and John Carroll Lynch. The season also saw the introduction of new members to the AHS family, including Angelica Ross, Zach Villa, Gus Kenworthy, Matthew Morrison, and DeRon Horton. Seasoned vets Lily Rabe and Dylan McDermott also served as guest stars. During AHS: 1984, the series celebrated its 100th episode but it looks like the horror anthology still has a bright future in the years to come with American Horror Story season 10 on the way.

American Horror Story Season 10 Renewal

Before American Horror Story season 8 debuted, FX had already announced American Horror Story season 10. The American Horror Story season 10 renewal came in August 2018, giving the writers ample time to develop the milestone season. In January 2020, FX also opted to renew American Horror Story for seasons 11, 12, and 13, and also order a spinoff called American Horror Stories that will tell a new story in each episode.

Since American Horror Story first aired in 2011, the series has carried a fall release schedule. The first five seasons premiered in early to mid-October and ran through December or January. The following seasons, however, moved up to a September release and promptly ended in mid-November. That would've likely been the case for American Horror Story season 10, had Coronavirus not come along to throw Hollywood schedules into turmoil. In May 2020, FX confirmed that season 10 now won't premiere until sometime in 2021.

Seeing as though American Horror Story is an anthology series, it's difficult to predict exactly what American Horror Story season 10 will be about. Co-creator Ryan Murphy has teased the return of Murder House's Rubber Man, although it's unclear what character(s) would actually be wearing the sinister suit this time around. As for the overall theme of season 10, that still remains a mystery, although one popular fan theory suggests that it'll focus on some type of aquatic horror.
