The upcoming second season/installment of FX’s horror series/miniseries American Horror Story will be titled American Horror Story: Asylum, co-creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy announced today. Set in 1964, American Horror Story: Asylum stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes. Principal photography on AHS: Asylum started on July 17 for an October premiere. “We picked ‘Asylum’ because it not only describes the setting – an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange’s character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward – but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted,” Murphy said. “This year’s theme is about sanity and tackling real life horrors.”
The first installment of American Horror Story earned 17 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, tying for the most of any program this year and setting a record for the most Emmy nominations for a miniseries in basic cable history. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto and Tim Minear are Executive Producers of American Horror Story: Asylum. It is produced by 20th Fox Television.

Could it be named anything more cliche than Asylum?
It would be far scarier if they named it AHS: Ryan’s Bedroom.
AHS: Ryan’s Bedroom is mediocre, Asylum, however gives them the freedom to rely on other characters and other lifes, and just like Ryan Murphy said “We picked ‘Asylum’ because it not only describes the setting (…) – but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted.”
Pretty excited for this show. What perplexes me is that a guy is able to make one of the worst shows on TV (Glee) as well as one of the best shows (AHS).
one’s a reputation builder, the other’s a cash cow
OHMY! This fucking made my day, I flipped out that Evan Peters is in the next season.
Really wish they would have fired the folks who broke the last half of the first season. Just a joke inside and out.
You’re right!
