By Joe Otterson

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – FX has given out a Season 10 renewal for “American Horror Story” ahead of the show’s eighth season premiere.

The cabler had previously renewed the show for both Seasons 8 and 9. The renewal comes as little surprise, as the Ryan Murphy anthology series remains one of ’s most valuable and critically-acclaimed properties, even with Murphy exiting 20th Century Fox for a new deal at Netflix.

As previously announced, Season 8 of the series, titled “Apocalypse,” will be a crossover between the “” seasons “Murder House” and “Coven,” which were the first and third seasons of the show, respectively. It will debut on Sept. 12.

Murphy has previously said that “American Horror Story” mainstays Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Kathy Bates will lead the eighth season of the series. It was also announced last week that “Assassination of Gianni Versace” breakout Cody Fern would join the show in the role of Michael Langdon.

Fans of the series will remember that Michael Langdon was the child of Tate Langdon and Vivien Harmon who was born during the events of “Murder House.” It was revealed in the epilogue of the season finale that Michael is in fact the Anti-Christ, which will no doubt tie in with the “Apocalypse” theme of the new season.
