The current installment, titled AHS: 13, acts as a celebration of the series history by incorporating storylines and characters from earlier seasons, according to TVLine.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk created American Horror Story for FX, with most seasons conceived as self-contained miniseries following distinct storylines within a shared fictional universe. The latest renewal brings co-creator Murphy closer to his stated goal of continuing the franchise indefinitely, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter. [2][8]
