American Horror Story is an anthology horror-drama television series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The first season centered on the Harmon family: Ben, Vivien and their daughter Violet, who move from Boston to Los Angeles after Vivien had a miscarriage and Ben had an affair. They move into a restored mansion, unaware that the home is haunted by its former inhabitants.

The series is broadcast on the cable television channel FX in the United States. It premiered on October 5, 2011,[1] and has completed its first season. In late-October 2011, FX announced that the series had been renewed for a second season[2] consisting of 13 episodes that may be extended.[3] In December 2011, Murphy announced his plans to change the characters and location for the second season.[4]

American Horror Story was well received by television critics and fans. The cast was generally praised, particularly Jessica Lange.[5][6][7] The series drew consistently high ratings for the FX network, ending its first season as the biggest new cable series of the year.[4]

Overview

Season one (2011)

See also: List of American Horror Story episodes

The first season follows the Harmon family: Ben (Dylan McDermott), Vivien (Connie Britton) and teenage daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga), who move from Boston to Los Angeles after Vivien gives birth to a stillborn baby and Ben has an affair with Hayden (Kate Mara), one of his students. The family moves to a restored mansion, unaware that the house is haunted. Ben and Vivien try to rekindle their relationship, as Violet, suffering from depression, finds comfort with Tate Langdon (Evan Peters), one of Ben's new patients. Neighbor Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange) and disfigured Larry Harvey (Denis O'Hare) routinely and frequently affect the Harmons' lives. The Harmons' lives are further complicated when Hayden comes to L.A. in an attempt to win Ben's love and is subsequently murdered, and Vivien has sex with both Ben and a mysterious man in a rubber suit, later revealed to be Tate, whom she believed to be Ben. She ends up pregnant with twins, one fathered by each man. Several ghosts in the house, including Tate and Hayden, conspire to acquire the babies, once they are born, and raise them as their own. Violet commits suicide. Vivien gives birth to the twins in the house, but dies during labor. The first twin dies moments after birth, but the second one lives. Vivien's and Violet's ghosts urge Ben to flee the house. In so doing, Ben is confronted by Hayden who murders him by forcibly hanging him. Upon finding Ben's body, Constance abducts the baby. The series then jumps ahead three years to reveal that Constance has continued to raise her grandson Michael in secrecy. She discovers, however, that he has violently murdered his nanny.

Season two (2012)

In October 2011, the FX Network renewed the series for a second season. In December 2011, series co-creator Ryan Murphy announced his plans to change the characters and location for the second season.[4]

Production

Conception

What you saw in the finale was the end of the Harmon house. The second season of the show will be a brand-new home or building to haunt. Just like this year, every season of this show will have a beginning, middle and end. [The second season] won't be in L.A. It will obviously be in America, but in a completely different locale.

— Murphy on American Horror Story's second season.[8]

Creators Murphy and Falchuk began working on American Horror Story before their Fox series Glee began production. Murphy wanted to do the opposite of what he had done previously and thus began his work on the series. He stated, "I went from Nip/Tuck to Glee, so it made sense that I wanted to do something challenging and dark. And I always had loved, as Brad had, the horror genre. So it just was a natural for me."[9] Falchuk was intrigued by the idea of putting a different angle on the horror genre, stating that their main goal in creating the series was to scare viewers. "You want people to be a little bit off balance afterwards," he said.[10] The dark tone of the series is modeled after the ABC soap opera Dark Shadows, which Murphy’s grandmother forced him to watch when he was younger to toughen him up.[11]

From the beginning, Murphy and Falchuk planned that each season of the series would tell a different story.[8] After the first season finale aired, Murphy spoke of his plans to change the cast and location for the second season.[12] He did say, however, that some actors who starred in the first season would be returning. "The people that are coming back will be playing completely different characters, creatures, monsters, etc. [The Harmons] stories are done. People who are coming back will be playing entirely new characters," he announced.[8]

Development history

In February 2011, FX officially announced that it had ordered a pilot for a possible series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, with both Murphy and Falchuk writing and Murphy directing. Dante Di Loreto was announced as executive producer. Production on the series began in April 2011.[13] In July 2011, FX officially announced the project had been picked up to series.[14] On August 2011, it was announced that Tim Minear, Jennifer Salt, James Wong and Jessica Sharzer had joined the series as writers.[15]

Casting

Season one

Casting announcements began in March 2011, with Connie Britton first to be cast, portraying female lead Vivien Harmon.[16] Britton stated that she took a risk in taking the role of Vivien. When Murphy presented the role to her he said "This is something we've never seen you do before. It will be turning what you've just been doing on its ear." She was intrigued by what he had presented her and ultimately decided to take the part.[17] In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, series co-creator Ryan Murphy stated that he had told Connie Britton, early on, that her character Vivien would die in the first season. "We’ve really had the whole season mapped out from the beginning," he said. "In the meetings with the core actors, the three leads being Connie, Dylan [McDermott] and Jessica [Lange], as we tried to snare them we were able to say this is where you start, this is the middle, and this is where you end up. So, yes, I was able to tell Connie really the whole run of the series."[18]

Denis O’Hare joined the cast in late March 2011 as Larry Harvey.[19] Jessica Lange joined the cast in April 2011 as Constance, marking her first regular role on television.[20] Lange was attracted to the role because it didn't require a 22-episode commitment like a series on a broadcast network. "That was huge for me!" she said. "I wasn’t about to commit to, you know, six months. It was cable, rather than network. …I’ve been offered network [shows] before, and determined not to do it, just because I can’t make that kind of time commitment."[21]

Dylan McDermott was cast as the lead Ben Harmon in late April 2011. His character was initially described as "a handsome and masculine but sensitive therapist who loves his family but has hurt his wife."[22] McDermott stated that he wanted to do the role to break away from his previous role as Bobby Donnell in the ABC series The Practice. "This was exactly why I wanted to do this show—to change it up and do a different kind of character. People think of me as the guy from ‘The Practice’ …I wanted to turn that [notion] on its head and hopefully I’m doing that [with this show]", he said.[23]

In May 2011, Taissa Farmiga and Evan Peters were the last actors to be cast, portraying Violet Harmon and Tate Langdon, respectively.[24] Farmiga said that she loved Violet "immediately" and that "She had spunk to her, she had attitude."[25] Murphy has described Tate as the "true monster" of the series, adding: "To Evan’s great credit and the credit of the writers, I think Evan’s done an amazingly difficult job making a monster sympathetic."[26]

Season two

In March 2012, Murphy revealed that the second season has been designed for Jessica Lange, saying: "This will really be the Jessica Lange show so I’m very excited about it. We are designing this amazing new opposite of the Constance character for her. She and I have spoken about different things. She has a lot of ideas, and has a lot of input into her character. She told me some things she has always wanted to play as an actress."[27] Zachary Quinto, who had a minor role as Chad in the first season, was confirmed as one of the male leads in March 2012.[28] At the William S. Paley Television Festival, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Lily Rabe were confirmed to return in unspecified roles.[29] It was reported in March 2012 that Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is in negotiations to appear in the second season. He will be playing a "contemporary character and half of a couple known only as 'The Lovers'", according to Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly.[30] In April 2012, Lizzie Brocheré was cast to play a character described as "a fierce, ferocious, extremely sexual and dangerous wild-child sexpot" to rival Jessica Lange's new character.[31]

Filming

Murphy was looking for a house that could be appropriately creepy but also attractive.

The pilot episode was shot on location in a house in Country Club Park, Los Angeles, California, which serves as the haunted house and crime scene in the series. Designed and built in 1902 by Alfred Rosenheim, the president of the American Institute of Architects' Los Angeles chapter, the Tudor or Collegiate Gothic-style single family home was previously used as a convent.[32][33] An adjoining chapel was removed from exterior shots using CGI.[34]

The series is filmed on sets that are an exact replica of the house.[35] Details such as Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass windows, and hammered bronze light fixtures, were re-created to preserve the look of the house.[32]

Due to a "very aggressive" production schedule and the series' pilot shoot having to wait for co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's other show, Glee, to wrap its second season production, it was announced that the show's first season finale would be thirty minutes shorter than planned. An option was given to Murphy by the network to drop the thirteenth episode altogether and air an hour-long finale, but Murphy came up with a plan for a ninety-minute one.[36] The episode aired on December 21, 2011.

Production and shooting for the second season will begin in late July 2012 for a scheduled premiere in mid October.[27]

Title sequence

The opening title sequence was created by Kyle Cooper and his company Prologue. He also created the title sequence for the AMC series The Walking Dead and the 1995 film Se7en. The theme music was composed by sound designer Cesar Davila-Irizarry and musician Charlie Clouser.[37] The sequence is set in the Harmons' basement and includes images of postmortem young children, unborn (or aborted) babies in jars, skulls, a Christening dress, a nurse's uniform, and a figure holding a pair of bloody hedge clippers. Murphy described the sequence as a mini-mystery and stated that "By the time you see the ninth episode of this season, every image in that title sequence will be explained".[38]

Promotion

As part of the promotion for the series, FX launched a "House Call" campaign, in which viewers at home could sign up and come face-to-face with a character from the series.[39]

Prior to the series premiere, FX released several clues to shine light on the series. They were offered on the show's official YouTube channel. Ten clues were released, entitled "Cello", "Baby", "Couples", "Coffin", "Lying Down", "Fire", "Stairs", "Melt", "Red Cello", and "Rubber Bump".[40]

In September 2011, FX launched a website which allows visitors to tour the murder house throughout the decades and look for clues.[41]

Broadcast

List of international broadcasts

The series premiered on October 5, 2011, and is broadcast on the cable television channel FX, in the United States. In November 2011, it premiered internationally on the respective countries' Fox International Channels.[42]

Reception

Critical reception

American Horror Story has received generally positive reviews from critics. The first episode scored 62 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 29 reviews.[43] Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly awarded the pilot episode a B+, stating "AHS is pretty much all scare, all the time: a whole lotta screams, sex, jolts, mashed faces, psychotic behavior, and dead babies."[44] Chuck Barney of the San Jose Mercury News said "Most TV shows, after all, quickly fade from memory. This one will haunt your dreams."[45] Hank Stuever from The Washington Post said in his review that "Overdoing things is one of Murphy's trademark flaws, but this show has a captivating style and giddy gross-outs."[46] The New York Times' Mike Hale calls the show "a more classically minded chiller," taking into mind the success of HBO's True Blood and AMC's The Walking Dead.[47] Not all reviews were favorable: Alan Sepinwall of HitFix gave the series a D−, saying, "It is so far over the top that the top is a microscopic speck in its rearview mirror, and so full of strange sounds, sights and characters that you likely won't forget it—even though many of you will wish you could."[48] The Los Angeles Times' Mary McNamara gave it a mixed review, stating that it "...collapses into camp...upon more than one occasion" but also noting that it is "hard to look away."[49]

Ratings

The pilot episode gained a 1.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49 and garnered 3.2 million viewers,[50] and totalled 5.2 million between two airings.[51] This was the best numbers FX had ever received for a series premiere.[52] Taken together with equally strong numbers for the station's returning original series – Sons of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League – the episode helped make October the most-watched month on FX ever.[53] The episode was seen by 3.2 million viewers total in 59 countries.[54]

Ratings increased as the season progressed, with the fourth episode receiving a 1.7 ratings share among adults 18-49, a tenth of a point higher than the pilot episode.[55] The seventh episode had a viewership of 3.06 million, receiving a 1.8 ratings share in the 18-49 demographic; a series high.[56][57] The season finale was watched by 3.22 million viewers and received a 1.7 ratings share in the 18-49 demographic.[58] The first season tied with the TNT series Falling Skies as the biggest new cable series of the year among adults 18-49.[4]

American Horror Story's November 2011 international premiere across Europe and Latin America, on Fox International Channels, drew rankings of first or second among all Pay-TV in most metered markets for its time slot. In the UK, it premiered on non-terrestrial channel FX, with 128,200 viewers. The second episode saw an increase of 27%, receiving an overall viewership of 158,700.[59]
