7. They said when they made the first season

that it was meant to have a beginning, a middle, and an ending all within the season. If it were renewed (which it has been) they would like to develop a completely different idea.

In other interviews Murphy has stated that the show isn't about a house, or about ghosts, or even about families. It's called American Horror Story, which means it can engulf so many ideas and not just supernatural. He's also made comments about how interesting it could be to treat a small cast like a traveling theater troupe, having them play different roles each season.

If it works it will be absolutely brilliant. The problem with Murphy is that he has brilliant first seasons and less than spectacular seasons after.
