Those who are still feeling the effects of Friday Night Lights gracefully ending its run last week shouldn't be feeling too sad, as Mrs. Coach will be back on our TV screens next season, y'all.
According to Deadline, FX has picked up American Horror Story, a "psychosexual thriller" from the minds of Glee creators Ryan Muprhy and Brad Falchuk. Starring Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott as a married couple dealing with infidelity and, later, a haunted house of sorts, the show will have a 13 episode first season and will likely be debuting sometime in October. (It becomes the second supernatural/horror series to debut in October,as The Walking Dead will begin its second season during the same month.)
While the show hasn't even started filming its season yet, I have to admit that I'm more than a little excited to see American Horror Story. It sounds like it'll be a cerebral, sexy, scary venture into world of horror that could make for captivating television, a wild ride through the psyches of this poor, unsuspecting family. With a strong cast featuring the likes of Jessica Lange, Alexandra Breckenridge, and Frances Conroy and inspiration from classic horror movies (Rosemary's Baby, The Shining), American Horror Story could be a truly unique addition to the television landscape.
Will you be watching American Horror Story? Is this the kind of project Connie Britton should take on post-FNL? How do you think this will affect the upcoming season of Glee, with two of its creators focused on another show?
