Ryan Murphy Tackling "Vampire Story" Next, Drops Interesting Clues

Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story: 13) revealed that he's working on a "vampire story" next and dropped some interesting clues about it.

Between FX's The Shards, Netflix's Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, and FX's American Horror Story: 13, Ryan Murphy will be on our screens a whole lot over the next few months. But it's the tease he dropped about his next project that really hit our radar. During a profile interview that dropped on Thursday, Murphy was asked about the status of FX's The Beauty Season 2 and future seasons of American Love Story. While explaining his mindset behind the projects he selects to work on, Murphy dropped this interesting tidbit: "The next thing I'm doing, I start shooting December in Europe – I've always wanted to do a vampire story, and I always wondered why nobody has made a show about these characters I love [from a book and movie adaptation]. So that's the next thing I'm going to tackle." Hmmm… a vampire story with characters that have appeared in a book or books, and was adapted into a film.

Murphy also shared how essential it was to have Jessica Lange sign on for AHS 13, and that he fully understood why Ariana Grande needed to drop out of the season. But the biggest headline? Murphy is already mapping out American Horror Story Season 14:

American Horror Story Isn't Going Anywhere: Season 14 Is Being Worked On: "I have a great passion for that show, and [FX boss] John Landgraf has a great passion for that show. It's a very important show in my career. It's something that John said, 'As long as you want to keep making them, I'll keep airing them.' That's always been the idea behind it, which is very empowering," Murphy shared about the support the series receives. Murphy added, "Season 13 is not the end; I'm working on season 14 as we speak in terms of, 'What's the idea?' and 'Who wants to be in it?'"

American Horror Story: 13 Hinged on Jessica Lange Joining: "It all started with Jessica [Lange] because Jessica, after we did the first four seasons, wanted to go off and do different things, which I understood completely. But I reached out to her thinking she would say no, and if she had said no, I probably wouldn't have done it. She told me a story about how she was doing Broadway last season and she would go out after the show, and there were all of these young people who were there because they all watched her work on American Horror Story. And she was very moved by that. I said, 'Well, that's funny, because my idea is for you to do all four of your favorite characters.' And she said, 'Sign me up. I'd love to do it.' I was so grateful."

Ariana Grande Will Be Missed – And Possibly Joining The AHS Universe in The Future: "I love Ariana Grande. We're great friends. I had an idea and I came to her and she, very immediately, said, 'I'm not sure because I think I'm going on tour.' I don't think the tour had been announced, and she had obviously just finished the 'Wicked' movie. So when it came time to do that episode, I called her up and she was like, 'I don't know how I'm going to juggle the tour with this.' And I said, 'OK, if you can't, we can push to another season.' She said, 'Great.'

You have to be respectful. Who is busier than Ariana Grande? No one. She had told me at the time, 'I have this album that's dropping.' It was really, truly a scheduling conflict. I said, 'OK, we'll kick that can down the road,' and she said, 'Great.' Ariana is a big fan of horror. She's obviously done homages of that in her work; she did 'Scream Queens' for me and loved the experience, and people love her in that show. So I will always work with her. I love her, and I support her. It was a very big swing, but I might bring that back for another season, per Ariana's availability. I think the world of her."

As it now stands, the cast for American Horror Story: 13 (officially) includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, John Waters, Joey Pollari, Paul Anthony Kelly, John Carroll Lynch, Matt Fraser, Mena Suvari, and Berto Colón.

FX's American Horror Story, the global phenomenon that has garnered more than 100 Emmy nominations since its launch in 2011, returns for an unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone's most feared number. Bringing together an all-star cast, many of whom are reprising fan-favorite roles, AHS 13 continues to build on the anthology's decades-long legacy that has been streamed more than 700 million hours across the globe and spawned a legion of dedicated fans.

Created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel, and the apocalypse itself. Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13, and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise.
