There's good news for fans of 'American Horror Story.' Come July 15, a spin off of 'American Horror Story', called 'American Horror Stories' will premiere and will feature 16 one hour-long contained episodes.

While fans may or may not see Sarah Paulson make an appearance, they can expect her presence behind the camera since Paulson said in an interview that she will be directing an episode. She said in an earlier interview, “I don’t know if I’m going to be in it, but I do think I’m going to be directing it." The series also stars a whole host of other talent including former 'Glee' star Kevin McHale, Riverdale actor Charles Melton, a star of Netflix’s 'The Prom' Nico Greetham, and 'Pose' star Dyllón Burnside.
