Ryan Murphy went onto describe his intent with taking American Horror Story into the future.
"Every season of the show will be a new haunting. What you saw in the finale was the end of the haunted house. The second season of the show will be a brand new home or building to haunt. Just like this year, every season of the show will have a beginning, middle, and an end. Which I really enjoy doing. I think fans of the show have loved that they have gotten various questions answered throughout the run of the season.
It was always our intent to do an anthology show. That was always the design from the beginning. Its what we talked about from the get-go. I think it's a cool, interesting way to tell a horror show. Every season, getting to tell a different aspect of what an American horror could be is very fascinating to me. Every season, also, along with being a new haunting, will have an overriding theme. The theme of Season 1, which we have mentioned numerous times, has been infidelity. Next year, in the second season, we will have a different theme and a different cast of characters to go along with that."
