¡Habemos muchos freaks! FX anunció que el primer capítulo de American Horror Story: Freak Show tuvo tanto éxito que decidieron asegurar la quinta temporada para octubre del 2015.
No están exagerando con lo del éxito; la transmisión del primer capítulo consiguió sobre 10 millones de televidentes, la mayor cantidad en la historia del canal, especialmente en el deseado sector demográfico de adultos 18-49 donde obtuvo 6.5 millones, mientras que en el no menos ansiado adultos 18-34 lograron 4.08 millones. Entre la transmisión original y la repetición, Freak Show fue visto por más de 13 millones de personas, casi a nivel de cadena.
El primer capítulo de Freak Show estuvo entre los mejores de la serie hasta el momento, pues tuvo buen ritmo, y mantuvo balance entre el misterio, comedia, y el típico absurdo que tanto disfrutamos. Sin olvidar que ese “Twisty the Clown” le tuvo que espantar el sueño a bastante gente. El que le tenga miedo a los payasos está jodio con esta temporada. Además, ¿un programa donde tengamos doble cantidad de Sarah Paulson como las gemelas unidas Bette y Dot, y una secuencia musical con la Supreme Jessica Lange cantando a David Bowie? Dame dos y una pa llevar.

AHS: Freak Show’s debut delivered 10 million Total Viewers, 6.54 million Adults 18-49, and 4.08 million Adults 18-34, surpassing the network’s previous record holder, the recent seventh and final season premiere telecast of the hit drama series Sons of Anarchy on Sept. 9th (9.25 million Total Viewers and 6.1 million Adults 18-49).

The premiere and two encore telecasts of American Horror Story: Freak Show combined to deliver 13.36 million Total Viewers, 8.6 million Adults 18-49 and 5.25 million Adults 18-34.
“The American Horror Story anthology has had the highest growth trajectory of any show in FX history, not to mention an unprecedented track record of success in awards recognition,” said Landgraf. “With Ryan Murphy and his partners, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto and Tim Minear at the helm, the show’s success is not surprising. AHS continues to deliver amazing stories, a brilliant troupe of actors led by Jessica Lange, and a visual style unlike any other on TV. With Nip/Tuck, Glee, The Normal Heart, and American Horror Story, Ryan Murphy has established himself as one of the most successful and prolific producers of this generation.
