'American Horror Story' Season 6 Theme: Why Evan Peters' 'Space' Concept Keeps Getting Shot Down
Evan Peters is hoping for a space theme for an upcoming American Horror Story season, but he keeps getting shot down.
It looks like we won't be getting American Horror Story: Space anytime soon - or ever. Peters, who has starred in all five seasons of the horror anthology series thus far, wants to do a season in space but showrunner Ryan Murphy won't allow it.
The actor talked about his space concept in a recent interview with Vulture, delving further into his ideas for the season.

"I keep pitching that it should be in space because I think the contained thing in space is really scary! It's not as sexy as some of these past seasons, but space is very intense, and there are a lot of things can go wrong. Alien creatures. People going crazy up there. There's a lot that could happen," Peters explained. "And it could look cool. It could be awesome to design a space-station set, and that would be amazing, to play around in that. Who knows? They're the ones who come up with all the brilliant ideas. I just get to play around with them."
Murphy spoke at the EW Fest recently and said that it's American Horror Story, not "Intergalactic Horror Story." However, Murphy did admit that the concept could still stand if it were on an American space station of some sort.
Logistically speaking it may too difficult and expensive to pull off a space theme, but that won't stop Peters from trying to pitch it.
American Horror Story: Hotel airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
