The creator opened up about the show's 17 Emmy nominations, saying that normally the show's success would cause him to feel pressured about the upcoming season.
"Normally, [the Emmy love] would [add extra pressure]," Murphy told TV Line.
"But it doesn't because it's a completely different thing," he continued. "It's a completely different story, a completely different period, and a completely different look. It's like doing a new project. It can't be compared to the first season."
He went on to speak about shooting season two, describing the process as almost surreal.
"Everyone looks so different," Murphy said. "People who were enemies last year are allies this year. The sets are amazing. It's 1964, so everything looks very different."
American Horror Story star Dylan McDermott recently admitted that he is excited about the show's revamp for season two.
