The new season of any TV show always comes with a certain level of anxiety and anticipation, but FX’s American Horror Story may inspire more curiosity than most. Whereas most shows simply continue the plot from the first season, creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that Season 2 of American Horror Story will start from scratch with fresh storylines and characters in a whole new setting.
