“American Horror Story” will be competing as a drama series at this year’s Emmys, the Television Academy announced on Tuesday.
Along with USA’s “The Sinner” and Netflix’s “American Vandal,” both of which had also previously competed as limited series, the most recent season of “Horror Story” will be categorized as an ongoing series “due to continuing story threads, characters and actors reprising those same character roles from previous seasons.”
The move comes after last year’s “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” united past seasons under one shared universe, with a number of actors reprising their characters from previous installments, including both Season 1 stars, Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott.
