FX released a new trailer and description for the upcoming third season:
“After the shocking season two finale, we find the housemates in a panic about what to do with Guillermo after discovering that he is a vampire killer. This season, the vampires are elevated to a new level of power and will encounter the vampire from which all vampires have descended, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, Atlantic City casinos, wellness cults, ex-girlfriends, gyms, and supernatural curiosities galore. Plus, Colin Robinson is turning 100. And Nandor, faced with his own eternal-life crisis, tries to inject his life with more meaning. Will he find love or is he destined to be an immortal bachelor with 37 ex-wives?”
FX also announced the renewal of the American Horror Stories anthology series for a second season. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Stories‘ first episode was FX on Hulu’s most successful series premiere to date.
Season one will wrap up on Thursday, August 19th with the release of its seventh and final episode, “Game Over.” The seventh episode was directed by Liz Friedlander from a script by Murphy and Falchuk and features a couple who dare to spend the night in a haunted house.
