FX president John Landgraf was on hand to dish American Horror Story Season 2 at Sunday’s press tour.

Landgraf said the network was mindful not to reveal the format of the series:

“We didn’t want to tell the audience what was going to happen … since we were going to burn this cast and location to the ground. I knew the entire family was going to die by end of the season.”

Landgraf also noted the show broke the ‘classic rules of storytelling’ and prevailed:

“We knew certain critics would get frustrated because they knew more than the leads. It’s a classic rule of storytelling: the leads should know more than the audience, not less. What was interesting was Ryan managed to evolve Jessica Lange into something of a lead character by the end. After the lead characters were dead and they knew everything, they were able to recapture their status as leads.”

We already know that some of the main cast will return in season 2 to play entirely new characters. Landgraf didn’t get into specifics but told reports that co-creator Ryan Murphy is in discussions with “two or possibly three” of the existing cast members.
