'American Horror Story' Season 9: Production Begins June 2019

Coming off an eighth season that saw a crossover between the Murder House and Coven seasons and some of the strongest viewer and critical praise the show's seen in a few seasons, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story is stalking its way into a ninth season with its mojo en fuego. Even FX head John Landgraf took some time from the network's Television Critics Association (TCA) to reassue fans that AHS wasn't going anywhere any time soon – even with Murphy now working under the Netflix banner ("We have three or four ideas in active development where we've sort of acquired rights. I think there are many more cycles of 'American Crime Story' to come and more of 'American Horror Story.'").

So now we can get back to our annual tradition of trying to get the scoop on the next season of AHS – and our friends at Production Weekly have helped kick the door open a little bit more in that regard. In this week's edition, American Horror Story season 9 is listed as beginning production in June 2019, which should put the series on track to air during its normal time of the year – but may make the wait for teasers or trailers a little more paniful.

While you can see some of the show's listing in the tweet above, here's a look at the page posted on Production Weekly's wesbite and social media:

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight following the occasion of his being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame back in December 2018, Murphy offered some very tantalizing teases for American Horror Story's future – both next season and beyond. When asked about the possibility of Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) and her coven (Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Emma Roberts, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe, and Lily Rabe…and hopefully Stevie Nicks and Joan Collins) making a return appearance, Murphy was surprisingly candid:

"The witches will be back. Not next season, but we have something really fun planned."

So if our witches aren't coming back next season… what can fans expect? C'mon, folks! This is Ryan Murphy we're talking about here – did you really think it was going to be that easy? Two takeaways from his response, though? They have a storyline, and the cast he's interested in are about to get the reveal:

"I can't say what it is! I'm going to this luncheon, and many of the Horror Story actors are there, and I'm gonna tell them for the first time. So I have to tell them first."
