Considering American Horror Story's jump in ratings from previous seasons as well as its increasing popularity, it comes as no surprise that FX has decided to renew the horror anthology - they just made it official.
John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions released a statement regarding the announcement:
"Put simply, Ryan Murphy is a master television producer. Time and time again he reinvents the form. What he, co-creator Brad Falchuk and their producers... and the entire production team and cast responsible for the American Horror Story franchise have done is nothing short of extraordinary. Every year, they create a riveting and brilliant new miniseries. AHS: Coven is the best yet, and I have no doubt that the next installment will be even better."

American Horror Story to Return for Third Season
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FX, Announcements, News, Renewals,
American Horror Story has been renewed for a third series.
The show - created by Glee showrunner Ryan Murphy and featuring Zachary Quinto, Jenna Dewan Tatum and Adam Levine - will return for a new 13-episode season in 2013. "With American Horror Story: Asylum, [executive producers] Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have raised the bar in every way from Murder House. And their original idea -- the notion of doing an anthological series of miniseries with a repertory cast - has proven groundbreaking, wildly successful and will prove to be trendsetting," FX president John Landgraf said in a statement.
Season two Asylum is up 19 per cent in viewers over Murder House.
Zachary recently revealed he was thrilled he decided to return for American Horror Story: Asylum. The star was initially hesitant about returning to the series which this year changed location and characters from a haunted Los Angeles mansion to an institution for the criminally insane in the 1960s, but is delighted Ryan talked him into it. "I was [hesitant]. But once Ryan explained to me what he wanted to do, and we talked about how all of us would play different characters, it became infinitely more appealing to me. I'm so glad I decided to double down," he explained.
Rescue Me Picked Up for a Fourth Season
Posted by Christina Furtado Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, FX, Renewals,
FX has recently announced that the controversial Denis Leary drama Rescue Me has been picked up for a fourth season, which is likely to air in the Spring of 2007. The show has been doing well in the ratings, enjoying about a 10 percent boost from last season’s numbers. I’m sure that Denis Leary’s recent Emmy nomination doesn’t hurt, either. I guess all the talk about the rape that apparently wasn’t hasn’t kept people away from the show—quite the reverse, in fact. According to FX President John Landgraf, Leary’s character, Tommy Gavin, will get what’s coming to him as this season goes on. Rescue Me airs in all its politically incorrect glory on Tuesday nights at 10 on FX.
