Best Place to Watch American Horror Story

Hulu is the best streaming service for watching new and old episodes of American Horror Story and this season’s American Horror Story: Double Feature. If you don’t mind waiting one day, you can watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature on Hulu On-Demand every Thursday. All episodes from previous seasons of American Horror Story are also available on Hulu’s on-demand service. The price for Hulu on-demand starts at only $6.99 per month after a 30-day free trial. So for just $6.99 per month, you have access to every episode of the following American Horror Story Seasons:

• Murder House (2011)
• Asylum (2012–13)
• Coven (2013–14)
• Freak Show (2014–15)
• Hotel (2015–16)
• Roanoke (2016)
• Cult (2017)
• Apocalypse (2018)
• 1984 (2019)
• Double Feature (2021)

That’s a considerable saving compared to the Hulu + Live TV service, which starts at $69.99. Since you only have to wait one extra day to watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature, I recommend picking up the much more affordable Hulu on-demand service to watch. However, if you must watch American Horror Story: Double Feature when it airs on FX, you will need to go with Hulu + Live TV service. (Hulu On-Demand is included with Hulu+Live TV)

Below are the various packages Hulu offers that will allow you to watch every episode of American Horror Story: Double Feature

• Hulu with commercials ($6.99 per month): This is the least expensive plan Hulu offers. This will allow you to watch the current and all past seasons on American Horror Story: Double Feature on-demand. New episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature are available to stream on Hulu one day after they air on FX (Thursdays). This package also provides access to the entire Hulu library; the on-demand Hulu feature providing various TV shows on network TV, cable, and all the Hulu Originals. There are commercials throughout the shows. This plan also allows subscribers to receive 1-year of Hulu for the price of 10 months ($59.99) by switching to annual billing.
• Hulu – commercial-free ($6.99 per month): For another $6 per month, you get Hulu on-demand without commercials. (Due to network arrangements, Grey’s Anatomy, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and How To Get Away With Murder will always have commercials)
• Hulu + Live TV ($64.99 per month): This plan provides the Hulu Streaming Library (with ads) and linear TV service for over 65 channels typically found on network and cable television. The lineup includes FX, so you can watch new episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature when they air on FX every Wednesday. All episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature will be available on-demand with this service as well. This plan provides the ability to watch on 2 devices at once, 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage, and more. You can remove the ads from Hulu on-demand for an additional $6 per month.
