American Horror Story may be using real-life terror for its Season 7 Cult, but nothing so true to life as sibling series American Crime Story. See for yourself in our first teaser for The Assassination of Gianni Versace, picking up from The People v. O.J. Simpson in 2018.

The fear factor of the past six seasons of American Horror Story has been predicated on a variety otherworldly scares. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have spooked us with ghost stories, aliens, witches, vampires, clowns, and beyond. Part of the uniqueness of the anthology series, and why watching a show as sadistic and gruesome as AHS can be so fun and addictive, is the gap between us and what happens on screen. Who doesn’t love hearing a good ghost story, so long it’s not happening to them? But in its seventh year, American Horror Story pivots from fables of supernatural nightmares to satirize the real-world political fears of Trump’s America, and it’s the series’ biggest mistake yet.

American Horror Story may have returned to more traditional teasing with Cult, but the FX drama has one major difference from past years. Ryan Murphy reveals that Season 7 will have no supernatural forces, while new details reveal Lena Dunham’s role and more.

The secretive and meta nature of American Horror Story Season 6 denied Roanoke traditional title credits, but far be it for Ryan Murphy to stiff us twice in a row. Join the Cult with Season 7’s first look at the presidential title credits in advance of our September premiere.

No one was exactly surprised to hear that FX’s Katrina: American Crime Story had stalled in favor of Versace, but neither FX nor Ryan Murphy will scrap the idea outright. Instead, production has been pushed to 2019 with a revamped premise and cast, and confirmed to feature Sarah Paulson in a leading role.

We weren’t terribly surprised when Versace: American Crime Story overtook Katrina as the next installment, but it seems the New Orleans-set chapter may have fallen apart altogether. Directors say the FX project is “stalled,” calling into question whether it films at all.

High-profile adaptations are no stranger to subjects disputing their portrayal, but it’s a special case when the legendary Olivia de Havilland takes FX’s Feud to task, as the last-living star depicted. The 101-year old actress may even get her wish for an expedited trial, though Fox is hitting back.

American Horror Story might have finally unveiled its Season 7 Cult, but a great many questions remain. Get a new look at Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson’s once-again linked characters with a fresh photo tease from creator Ryan Murphy!

Now that American Horror Story: Cult finally cracked Season 7, the whole dam is about to burst. Creator Ryan Murphy reveals not only our heartland America setting, but returning favorites to the cast, and what Murphy calls Evan Peters’ “heaviest season yet.” Plus, watch a brand-new promo!

Ryan Murphy didn’t tease the American Horror Story Season 7 theme quite so harshly as Season 6, but our guessing game is over nonetheless. American Horror Story: Cult is confirmed as our seventh, politically-minded chapter, taking place in the aftermath of the 2016 election.
