According to Variety, The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has officially announced that FX’s long-running horror anthology series American Horror Story is no longer qualified to compete on the Primetime Emmy Awards’ Outstanding Limited Series Categories.
FX is currently preparing for the forthcoming premiere of American Horror Story’s ninth season titled American Horror Story: 1984.
Since the American Horror Story’s debut in 2011, the anthology series from co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk has been competing as a limited series for seven years as each season told a standalone story.
AHS has now been moved to the outstanding drama categories along with two other shows: USA Network’s anthology crime drama The Sinner and Netflix’s mockumentary series American Vandal.
