American Horror Story: Everything We Know About Season 7, and Beyond

Ryan Murphy's creepshow of camp is on tap to add at least three more seasons to its existing six -- with the tantalizingly open-ended possibility of endless, additional horror-storying to come just as long as the showrunners can keep thinking up new ways to make us scream, cringe, gasp, and/or discreetly vomit into our Balenciaga handbags.

[...] while no major details have been released yet as to the theme of the next three seasons (Season 7 will be in the modern era, but that's all we know), the chatter surrounding the show has included enough exciting information that fans have good reason to get stoked well in advance.

Fortunately, we won't have to wait long to find out; Murphy has already promised that he won't be repeating last year's red-herring-fest of misdirection when it comes to revealing the next season's theme.

Roanoke (apart from introducing us to the delights of Sarah Paulson with an English accent) was filling in the last remaining blanks as to how each season connects to the others.

[...] that the pieces are all in place?

It's time to blow 'em up.

Or as Murphy told Vanity Fair last year: "We lay a lot of pipe, and you'll see it explode in seasons seven and eight."

A crossover between seasons one (Murder House) and three (Coven) is confirmed to be in the pipeline, although it won't be happening until Season 8 at the earliest.
