American Horror Story has been renewed for Season 14 on FX and Hulu. The announcement extends Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s horror anthology as the current installment, AHS: 13, approaches its October 29 finale following what FX describes as the series’ biggest streaming premiere.
The current season features Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts and Jessica Lange among its all-star ensemble. The renewal announcement does not set a premiere date, reveal a theme or confirm casting for the 14th installment.
American Horror Story Season 14 Follows a Record Streaming Launch
According to FX, the AHS: 13 premiere delivered the strongest streaming debut in the franchise’s history and marked Murphy’s biggest launch on Hulu and Disney+. Those launch comparisons are based on views during the first four days of streaming.
FX also says the premiere earned a place on Nielsen’s Streaming Top 10 charts. The announcement does not specify its chart position or provide a viewing-minute total for that appearance.
The distinction matters: the renewal comes with a streaming milestone, rather than a claim that the premiere broke the franchise’s linear television ratings record.
When Do the Final AHS: 13 Episodes Arrive?
Episodes 11 and 12 arrive Thursday, October 22, followed by the finale on Thursday, October 29. Episodes begin at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX and 9 p.m. PT on Hulu.
The schedule brings the current installment to its conclusion just before Halloween. Viewers following the season can also revisit our coverage of the AHS: 13 official companion podcast, which features conversations with cast members and the creative team.

The wider ensemble includes Avantika, Jamie Brewer, Elle Chapman, Berto Colon, Alex Consani, Frances Conroy, Mat Fraser, Seth Gabel, Orlando Jones, Paul Anthony Kelly, John Carroll Lynch, Tig Notaro, Madelaine Petsch, Fedor Steer, Mena Suvari, Zach Villa and John Waters.
These are the announced performers for AHS: 13; FX has not identified the cast for Season 14 in this announcement.
