Right before the show’s third and final season premiered on May 2, PEOPLE spoke to Murphy about how those working behind the scenesalways knew how the show would end.
“When we first started to work on the show, it was interesting because we only had one season pickup. But what we did in that writer’s room — and it’s been the same writers from the beginning — is we talked about what is the beginning of the story and what is the end of the story, which is a rare thing to do in a writer’s room,” Murphy, 55, said at FX’sPoseseason 3 red carpet premiere in N.Y.C. “We didn’t know how long we’d have, so we didn’t know if we were gonna have to tell the story in a season or what it was gonna be.”
