FX announced this week that it had picked up Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" for a 13-episode order. Co-created by former "Nip/Tuck" executive producers and current "Glee" overlords Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the series begins production in Los Angeles this month and will premiere on FX in October.

"American Horror Story," about a family that moves across the country to deal with past issues, features a cast that includes Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton and Jessica Lange. The show follows a husband and wife (McDermott and Britton) trying to rebuild their family after a few setbacks -- a miscarriage and an affair -- and a change of scenery. Only problem: Their new house is haunted.

Perhaps Chris Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith -- who will be exiting "Glee" at the end of the upcoming season -- could have an afterlife on the new drama?
