'American Horror Story' Season 6: Will FYC Emmy Event Include New Concept Announcement? [VIDEO]
Another panel event for American Horror Story has been scheduled for this month, leading many to speculate if the season 6 concept will be officially announced there.
The cast and producers of American Horror Story: Hotel are convening for a For Your Consideration Emmy event at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on Monday, June 13. Only Television Academy members (those who vote in the Emmys) are allowed to attend the event.
The night will feature a screening of an episode of American Horror Story: Hotel followed by a conversation with the show's cast and producers.
Those attending the event include Lady Gaga, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, Denis O'Hare, Cheyenne Jackson, Finn Wittrock and executive producers Tim Minear and Ryan Murphy.
With so many stars and showrunner Murphy attending, some are wondering if this might be the time for the season 6 announcement. It has taken an unusually long time for Murphy to announce the new concept, especially compared to previous years. This For Your Consideration event may be the perfect opportunity to do so, considering how desperate the show's fans are to get any piece of information about season 6.
Fans were frustrated after the March PaleyFest panel when Murphy chose not to reveal what season 6 would be about. He even suggested at the event that they hadn't nailed down a concept quite yet.
"The interesting thing about this season is we've been working on two ideas at once, which we've never done," Murphy said, when asked about season 6. "So I don't want to say what it maybe is.... Both things that we're writing right now-we haven't declared a winner-will have a different form, so we're excited about that. We'll talk about it soon, but we haven't landed on it yet."
However, he did say that both concepts they were working on involved children of some sort, saying, "If you look at horror tropes, the innocence of children, that sort of wide-eyed entryway into some world is always very dramatic and satisfying."
American Horror Story season 6 premieres this fall on FX.
