Horror heads, take note.

Ryan Murphy's hotly tipped American Horror Story spin-off just got given the go ahead by US channel FX, Variety reports.

The show will reportedly be a series of one-hour long ghost stories - with each episode covering a standalone plotline - rather than the traditional season format.

FX are said to have given the project the greenlight and will broadcast the spin off as part of their 2021 programming.

Given that all Hollywood production is currently on pause due to the coronavirus crisis, an air date has not yet been confirmed.

AHS co-creator and executive producer Murphy teased the news on Instagram, sharing a screenshot of a cast Zoom call.

Fans of the franchise naturally went wild.

Eric Schrier, Entertainment President at FX, said: "We couldn't be more excited about our roster of new and returning shows slated through next year.

"It has been an extraordinary time for FX over these past three months with the launch of FX on Hulu, which has transformed our business. We believe the continued strength of our original series coupled with the growing awareness of FX on Hulu as our streaming platform will make the FX brand stronger and more relevant and accessible than ever before."
