Status: The linear ratings for this latest horror series were decent for a basic cable entry, but not great. I have not seen any streaming numbers from this one, but the network never tried to tout it as a success. The Disney Upfront—where they announce the schedule for the upcoming season—has come and gone, and there was no word there on this show’s fate. Ashton Kutcher has said that he would like to return, and showrunners Ryan Murphy and Matthew Hodgson have plans on how to carry on the story if the show continues. But it was just announced that FX has released the cast and crew from their contracts, so the likely next step is cancellation. Fans may want to make some noise on the social networks to bring it more attention and perhaps helping its chances.
