Well, our days of astonishment with Ryan Murphy’s eclectic casting are certainly coming to a middle. Just hours away from learning American Horror Story Season 7’s title and theme, the creator reveals that Girls alum Lena Dunham will get political with a guest role.
If American Horror Story Season 7 is to follow the aftermath of 2016’s election, they’re going to need a good producer. Enter The Newsroom star Alison Pill; reportedly latest to join the American Horror Story Season 7 cast in a mysterious role.
Until American Horror Story proves otherwise, Season 7 is the Year of Billies. Following the addition of comedian Billy Eichner, the seventh run of Ryan Murphy’s FX horror anthology has added Scream Queens star and Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd in a major role.
We’re a bit further into decoding American Horror Story Season 7 than we were with Roanoke last year, though it seems we may be headed to familiar territory overall. Sarah Paulson teases her supreme Coven role could make a comeback, as producers discuss where the Season 7 idea came from.
As if the American Horror Story name didn’t prove topical enough during the 2016 election, Season 7 may make the connection literal. Creator Ryan Murphy claims that next season will follow “the election that we just went through,” but how specifically might he mean?
It’s getting harder and harder to track Ryan Murphy’s ideas for future American Horror Story seasons, but one standout idea saw the first year’s Murder House crossing over with the Season 3 Coven. We won’t see said mashup in Season 7, but Murphy nonetheless reveals exactly what would bring the stories together, and how absurd Sarah Paulson’s workload would be.
American Horror Story got plenty of road to reinvent itself with an additional two-season renewal, but don’t expect any major shakeups in Season 7. Not only are series staples Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters confirmed to return, but producers promise yet another mystery theme (ugh) for Season 7.
We’ve barely begun the rigmarole of American Horror Story teasing its seventh season, but it’ll be time yet before Ryan Murphy beings his flagship anthology franchise to a close. FX has officially picked up an additional two seasons of American Horror Story, likely taking us through at least 2019. Just like our real-life American horror story!
Well, it finally happened. American Horror Story: Roanoke has reached the end of its 10-week run, and as promised, near every one of the characters we’ve come to know has died in the woods of Virginia. Next week’s finale looms, but more than one survivor will make a shocking return, including Sarah Paulson’s Asylum character Lana Winters in the first trailer.
