"American Horror Story" Season 7 could be just around the corner this spring, but does that mean that creator Ryan Murphy will be back with it? There has been a host of new shows popping up for the AHS creator, but none of them are spinoffs of the show, indicating that Murphy could be paying attention to the success of his new pilots.
One thing that "American Horror Story" fans have agreed on for the past six seasons and the upcoming "American Horror Story" Season 7 is that Ryan Murphy has been an integral part of making it a hit. His key direction with plots and season stories have been somewhat of a dream sequence, no matter how horrific the scenes have been in between, Cinema Blend reported.
But the real question here is whether or not Ryan Murphy has the time to have anything to do with "American Horror Story" Season 7, now that he has new shows popping up in every corner of the broadcast and cable market.

Ryan Murphy's latest upcoming show, "Feud," will finally bring Jessica Lange back under Ryan Murphy's umbrella as a leading lady for the show. Interestingly enough, there are many that will say that Jessica Lange was the second half of Ryan Murphy over the first four seasons of "American Horror Story" that made it a hit. According to Vanity Fair, there is still a strong and devoted fan list that will come back for "American Horror Story" Season 7 just because it has the right creepy noir vibe. However, it still appeals to modern tropes of horror and mixes it in with the classic storylines that people love to see.
If that is what Ryan Murphy wanted for "American Horror Story" Season 7, then he certainly achieved his goal. But after six seasons, does that mean Murphy will be stepping back and letting the show run its course, allowing himself to focus on other shows that he currently has in his pipeline?
"American Horror Story" Season 7 fans should remember that Ryan Murphy is the brainchild of several other shows that were destined for greatness. Those shows include Feud, American Crime Story, Glee, and Scream Queens. Although AHS definitely has a good playbook to work from as well as Ryan Murphy's own themes to inspire his showrunners, will AHS still be the same show without him should he step back and be less involved?
