FX has ordered the sixth installment of the groundbreaking and award-winning anthology limited series American Horror Story. It was announced today by John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions. The as-of-yet untitled sixth installment will air on FX in 2016 with the next chapter of the Emmy and Golden Globe winning franchise co-created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. John Landgraf had this to say.

"With the sixth installment coming next year, American Horror Story has unquestionably joined the ranks of television's landmark series. From Murder House to Hotel, AHS has pioneered a new television form as well becoming FX's highest rated show, while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity. This is even more remarkable because Ryan and co-creator Brad Falchuk tear up the playbook every year, challenging the entire creative team to come up with something even more spectacular, frightful and entertaining. You could not ask more of an artist, their team or a series and with every new installment they deliver."

Ryan Murphy serves as Co-Creator, Showrunner, Executive Producer, Writer and Director of American Horror Story: Hotel. And Brad Falchuk is Co-Creator, Executive Producer and Writer. Tim Minear, Brad Buecker, Jennifer Salt, James Wong and Alexis Martin Woodall also serve as Executive Producers. The American Horror Story franchise is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television.

The first four installments of the American Horror Story limited series franchise have received 71 Emmy Award nominations and 13 Emmy Award wins, including five Emmy awards for its fourth installment, American Horror Story: Freak Show. The fifth installment, American Horror Story: Hotel, is pacing ahead of the average ratings of all prior installments on a Live+3 basis. Through its first four episodes, American Horror Story: Hotel is +7% ahead of Freak Show among Adults 18-49 and +1% among Total Viewers. In addition, the premiere was the second most-watched telecast in FX Networks history, behind only the premiere episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show.
