The new season will be filmed in Los Angeles, a departure from the New Orleans location of Coven and Freak Show, the last two seasons. American Horror Story boss Ryan Murphy told Deadline that the new season will be darker than the show's usual feeling.

"The upcoming season that we're doing is much more horror-based; it's much more dark," he said. "It's about a theme and an idea that's very close to my heart that I've always wanted to do that's a little bloodier and grislier I think than anything that we've done before; it's straight horror this year. Murder House, I thought, was a very primal season because everybody's great fear is about the bogeyman under the bed in their house, and this feels similar to me in that when you check into a hotel, there are certain things beyond your control... Other people have the keys to your room; they can come in there. You're not exactly safe, it's a very unsettling idea."

The new season also will not include any musical numbers, a polarizing element of Freak Show.

American Horror Story: Hotel premieres in October on FX, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
