While speculation keeps swirling regarding what the latest season of American Horror Story will be after a mysteriously logo has surfaced, fans will be shocked to learn that the series is returning much sooner than expected.
Typically released during mid-October to get horror fans in the spirit of Halloween, FX announced on July 5 that AHS will premiere on Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. ET.
That means fans only have to wait just more than two short months to find out what Ryan Murphy and crew has in store for us this time around.
FX did not reveal why the series is returning earlier than usual, but it does make sense to release the season 6 premiere with the rest of the traditional fall TV schedule lineup.
While we know now that American Horror Story will air on Wednesdays starting in September, much about this anticipated season still remains unknown. However, actor Cheyenne Jackson recently confirmed he is coming back for season 6 after making his AHS grand entrance in Hotel last season. He will join AHS: Hotel alumni Lady Gaga and series vet Angela Bassett for the latest chapter.
The show's co-creator Ryan Murphy hinted at season 6 possibly involving children again, but the question mark to help create the number six for the logo doesn't help to give up any more clues.
In a press release that announced the early September season premiere date, FX did not mention any further details. But now that we are getting closer to the series airing, we expect to start learning more soon.
FX also announced that premiere date of two other series coming to the network this fall: Atlanta and Better Things.
Created and starring Donald Glover, the new comedy Atlanta will premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 10 p.m. ET. The series follows Glover's character, a young manager who tries to help his cousins make a name for himself in the music business.
The other new series, another comedy, Better Things will premiere on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 10 p.m. ET. The show co-created by Louis C.K. is about a single actor (played by co-creator Pamela Adlon) with no filter raising three children.
While these two new comedies will sandwich the horror drama series in the fall, another thriller is making a comeback this summer. FX said that season 3 of Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse's The Strain is set to premiere on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 10 p.m. ET.
Season 3 of the drama Tyrant will premiere on Wednesday, July 6 at 10 p.m. and season 3 of You're The Worst will premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 10 p.m. ET.
American Horror Story will air Wednesdays, starting Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. ET on FX.
