Ryan Murphy discusses American Horror Story's new location, new time, possible new naked asses
We’ve been told repeatedly that the next season of American Horror Story will be a radical departure from its first, but in case you are somehow unable to get that through your head—like a man who’s told over and over again that your house is haunted while horrible things continue to happen and bodies stack up around you, yet every time it’s brought up you just furrow your naked ass in confusion—allow creator Ryan Murphy to spell it out for you. The show’s sophomore year will have “not a mention of season one,” and will instead take place during an as-yet-unspecified different time period at an East Coast “institution for the criminally insane” overseen by Jessica Lange, Murphy said during a recent panel presentation. Murphy added that the location was even teased least season, in an offhand comment made by Sarah Paulson’s psychic character regarding “places where evil collects,” so really, you should have figured this out by now.
