FX has renewed "American Horror Story," for a sixth season to premiere in 2016. The popular anthology series from creator Ryan Murphy is the highest-rated series in the cable network's history.

"With the sixth installment coming next year, 'American Horror Story' has unquestionably joined the ranks of television's landmark series," FX Network CEO John Landgraf announced on Tuesday. "From 'Murder House' to 'Hotel,' 'AHS' has pioneered a new television form as well becoming FX's highest rated show -- while also pushing every conceivable boundary of creative excellence and audacity. This is even more remarkable because Ryan and co-creator Brad Falchuk tear up the playbook every year, challenging the entire creative team to come up with something even more spectacular, frightful and entertaining."

Murphy added Lady Gaga to his "AHS" acting troupe this season, her first series regular role, and the two have discussed her return in the next installment if they can work around her touring schedule, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The "AHS" creator also hasn't revealed where he will set the next season, but he does have a couple of ideas in mind. One is not Evan Peters' suggestion of "American Horror Story: Space," although he's not ruling out putting the show on a space station or spaceship, according to Entertainment Weekly.

"American Horror Story: Hotel" is currently airing on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.
