American Horror Storyco-creatorRyan Murphy confirmed an anthology spin-off of the seriescalledAmerican Horror Storieswas in development in May. During Hulu’s NewFronts presentation for ad buyers Monday, it was announced that the weekly series will air on the streaming hub FX on Hulu rather than theDisney-backed basic cable network.
Hulu will also exclusively hostY: The Last Man, an adaptation of Brian Vaughan’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi comic series from the early 2000s, according to a story about the announcement from The Hollywood Reporter.

AfterAmerican Horror Storybegan airing in 2011, it has taken on a different overarching story every season, including one based on a mysterious hotel starring Lady Gaga and most recently one based on horror movie icons of the 1980s. As the spin-offAmerican Horror Storiesis in development,American Horror Storywill also begin its tenth seasonin 2021.
With streaming services like Netflix gaining extra notoriety thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it makes sense for more high-profile content to be put onHulu— especially with the service needing to differentiate itself from Disney+ after the Disney and Fox merger. At this point, only time will tell whether the anthology series can thrive on streaming as well as it has on cable.
