8 Best Anthology Shows Ever

7. American Horror Story

Black Mirror Playtest
FX

American Horror Story is a US anthology horror genre series that has run for nine seasons on FX. Each season primarily uses the same actors as different characters, many of which tend to multirole as the episodes continue.

The show has given fame to many actors, including Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, not to mention including stars such as Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts and Jessica Lange.

With each season comes even scarier narratives - asylums, circuses, cults and haunted houses to name a few. The show was created by Glee writer Ryan Murphy, with a unique style of capturing the narratives and horror within. He has since gone on to create popular Netflix shows like The Politician and Hollywood.

The show has a large following each year, as audiences wait for the latest unusual trailer to drop and hint at the next season's theme. The first season Murder House was released in 2011, whist the latest season AHS: 1984 concluded last year.

Season ten has since been confirmed and fans can expect a range of old faces to return, with new actors joining including Home Alone star Macauley Culkin.
