American Horror Story

We hardly bat an eye anymore at Ryan Murphy’s eclectic talent assembly, least of all for American Horror Story. It’d certainly seem plausible of Bates Motel star Vera Farmiga to join her younger sister Taissa as well, but apparently this is one rumor quickly snuffed out.

Ryan Murphy confirms Sarah Paulson won't play Hillary Clinton, and says of the 2016 election theme, 'It's very scary, that night, for many people.'

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy gave us a real nightmare with word that Season 7 would follow the 2016 election all over again, but it seems we can sleep a little easier. The prolific FX showrunner clarifies that Season 7 will be more of an allegory, without any terrifying (well, more terrifying) Trump.

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy already promised that Season 7 wouldn’t employ the same closely-guarded mystery theme that made Roanoke rough going at first, but that isn’t going to preclude some fun in the meantime. A cryptic new tease from American Horror Story social media could be putting us out to sea for the show’s seventh year.

After last week's shocking twist, 'Roanoke' gets bloodier than ever before. Beware of the Butcher...

Ready for the twist? It's a real scream.

Whether or not American Horror Story hurt Season 6 ratings with the decision to keep Roanoke entirely under wraps, fans are at least curious to see how the current run changes things up in the coming episodes. Ryan Murphy himself now teases some major Coven and Freak Show connections ahead, while promising a more opaque approach to Season 7.

At last, we find out the origin story of The Butcher, Gaga's woodland witch and the rest of the ghostly Roanoke crew.

Lady Gaga returns, in full creepy form, as the search for Flora continues and another character turns up dead.

Even as American Horror Story is already looking forward to its next season in secret, Roanoke has only just begun to lay out its mystery (at least before tossing it aside midway through). We’ve heard Ryan Murphy will start to lay groundwork for all the seasons to connect, and our first Roanoke tease of that will connect back to Freak Show.
