American Horror Stories: Like American Horror Story, but plural
Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have anthologies on anthologies, and Never Have I Ever returns with the dulcet tones of John McEnroe in tow
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, July 15. All times are Eastern.

American Horror Stories (FX on Hulu, 12:01 a.m., series premiere, first two episodes): It’s been just shy of 10 years since the first season of American Horror Story—the one now called Murder House—first aired on Hulu, with Connie Britton’s amazing hair only one of the shocks that awaited its new viewers. It is, somehow, still going, so look for season 10 in the fall; it’s called Double Feature, so we’ve got at least one more season before AHS: Pandemic descends on us like a cloud of locusts. But we’re not here about AHS. We’re here about AHS-es.
American Horror Stories sees Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk still working that anthology beat, but this time the stories are standalone episodes (or, at most, two-parters). Think Twilight Zone, but with alumni from the cast of Glee. Juan Barquin will recap the first two episodes, which serve as parts one and two of the two-part “Rubber(wo)Man.”
