As of November 2024, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story consists of 12 seasons that aired from October 5, 2011, to April 24, 2024, with a 13th season supposedly coming in 2025.
American Horror Story (AHS) does not follow one story. In contrast, each season of the show is a mini-series in its own right, with new characters and a new plot, all taking place within the same AHS. Although each season is a separate entity from all other seasons, characters from different American Horror Story seasons do interact with each other from time to time which the creators say is possible since everything is in the same universe.
The first season of AHS, called Murder House, follows the Harmon family, namely Ben, Vivien, and their teenage daughter Violet Harmon. After Vivien suffers a miscarriage, the family decides to have a fresh start and moves from Boston to L.A. and moves into an old restored mansion. As the Harmon family restart their lives, they soon realize that their home is haunted by all the people who have died in it ever since it was constructed in the 1920s.
