A Timeline of All the Most Important Dates in the “American Horror Story” Universe

With eleven seasons under its belt and a twelfth on the way, “American Horror Story” has become quite the vast and complex universe. There are so many connections between seasons, crossover characters, and recurring stars, it’s nearly impossible to keep track of everything. And on top of that, we have to keep a bunch of important dates in mind? Ha! Get real.

The next season, “American Horror Story: Delicate,” stars Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts, and once again promises to deliver the show’s trademark blend of gore, psychological horror, and nuanced lore. It’s unclear whether the show will touch on past seasons, but given the show’s tendency to thread various characters and plot lines together, it’s more likely than not.

In an effort to help you fully prep for the next gripping installment and catch any references to past seasons that might crop up, we’ve decided to create a timeline of all the major dates you need to remember as you move forward. Brace yourself — things get really messy after 2010, and when the show started throwing multiple timelines in the 2020s thanks to “Apocalypse,” things went absolutely bonkers.

Ahead, check out “American Horror Story”‘s events in chronological order, multiverse and all.

“American Horror Story: Delicate” premieres on Hulu on Sept. 20.
