, the numbers steadily dropped to pretty dismal levels. But FX and Ryan Murphy aren’t going to let a little thing like an audience fallout stop them from bringing a new seasonof the show to fans later this year. Audiences will return for the season premiere, even if killer clowns and dildo monsters have to be used to round everybody up.

But it doesn’t take a genius researcher to know that the show has debuted in October for the past five years, so that’s undoubtedly when we’re going to see the next one. At least, assuming we don’t get doubled-up seasons.

We're already seen a giant ghost-filled house, an asylum with mutants and a Nazi, a witch-and-voodoo-filled New Orleans, a freak show that attracts killers, and a hotel full of monstrous abominations. Oh, and there were aliens in there, too. So what horror trope or sub-genre can we possibly get this time? Zombies? Werewolves?

For what it's worth, Ryan Murphy has said that this will be a very different story from Hotel , and one that darker and less opulent.

What Actors Will Be Returning?

No actors have confirmed their involvement in another round of American Horror Story , but given how faithful actors are to Ryan Murphy, we'll likely see a sizeable selection of them coming back. Murphy reportedly has already asked Lady Gaga to return, and her recent Golden Globe winis probably a reason for Gaga to aim to return. As well, actors like Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare and Evan Peters have been there since the beginning, so we'll likely see them again. Peters should be playing Hotel 's Mr. March in every upcoming season.

Plus, Hotel has allowed several characters from past seasonsto return in awesome ways. So even if an actor doesn't sign on to be a part of the main cast, the possibility of seeing them in a limited role is always strong. Even Twisty the Clown's John Carroll Lynch returned to play the clownish serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
