American Horror Story Season 8 is headed to the future, but not that far ahead. New details of the next chapter reveal the exact setting, along with hairy new roles for Evan Peters, Joan Collins and more.
Ryan Murphy’s ‘80s ball culture drama Pose already made history with its volume of transgender stars in major roles, and now FX is making it official. The LGBTQ drama has an official series order and first photo, though a slight casting shakeup means that Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany will no longer take part.
The latest episode of ‘American Horror Story: Cult’ answered a handful of lingering questions, like who’s behind the clown masks and what happened to Kai and Winter’s parents.
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.
