‘American Horror Story’ Season 8 Everything We Know: Theme, Premiere Date, More

It was only a matter of time before another “American Horror Story” Season 8 spoiler was shared, and the latest teaser gave fans a good look at what they can expect when the series finally premieres on FX.

After two new “AHS” photos were shared online, we gathered up information on the theme, cast members, premiere date and more. Check out everything we know so far about “American Horror Story” Season 8.

Theme

Following rumors the upcoming season of the FX series would be called “Radioactive,” the “AHS” official Instagram account revealed the title for the latest installment of the anthology series will be called, “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.” The shared image featured a blood red baby being touched by a hand that doesn’t appear to belong to a human. The second photo, which was shared on Twitter, showed the creepy handy looking as if it was tickling the blood red infant.

Crossover

Last month, Murphy announced Season 8 would be a crossover between “AHS: Coven” and “AHS: Murder House.” In January, the producer stated the upcoming season would be set in the “near-distant future” and revealed the crossover would probably happen in Season 9. However, he surprised fans in June by confirming the story plot shake-up. “The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won’t be happening next year...because it’s happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER,” he shared in a Twitter post at the time.

A Surprise Twist

In May, Murphy teased that fans will be entertained when they tune into “AHS” Season 8. “It’s a season unlike anything we’ve done because there’s a big hook to it. There’s a huge thing that happens in episode five,” he told EW.

“You will see so many fan favorites return that you’ll feel like it’s The Love Boat. It’s a very high concept,” Murphy teased.

Cast

Viewers can expect to see Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman and Billy Eichner return to the “AHS” universe when new episodes begin to air. Hollywood vet Joan Collins will also maker her debut on Season 8 of the series.

Release Date

Fans won’t have to wait long before they get to watch the thrilling season Murphy has been teasing. “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” is set to premiere Wednesday, Sept. 12 on FX.
