American Horror Story is the most successful horror tv franchise since The Twilight Zone. It’s not as ubiquitously revered, and it never presented record-breaking numbers The Walking Dead did, but its fans are just as ravenous, and as critical, as any horror television franchise. It managed to nab 16 primetime Emmy awards over ten years and has featured a kaleidoscope of familiar faces from film and television throughout its tenure. AHS is celebrated for its persistent evolution, its commitment to recycling cherished cast members across all seasons, and its genre-blending brand of soap opera horror.
Series co-creator Ryan Murphy’s body of work isn’t celebrated for its subtlety, it’s celebrated for its style. Larger than life characters like Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) from his first FX hit Nip/Tuck and Jane Lynch’s scene-stealing Sue Sylvester from the late 2000s broadcast behemoth Glee are simply a couple of examples of the iconic characters he’s had a hand in creating in the years leading up to American Horror Story. 2021 is a special year for the series because it’s its 10 year anniversary and also because American Horror Story Season 10 debuts following the conclusion of the first season of American Horror Stories—a new anthology series set in the disturbing, haunted world of American Horror Story.
If you're wondering how to watch Season 10, where it's streaming, or when to expect new episodes, we've got you covered with our handy guide below.
