American Horror Story Season 8 Scoop: Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Adina Porter to Return
American Horror Story series co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed late Friday that the anthology’s eighth installment will be set “18 months from today”. He also revealed that viewers can expect a more “heightened” season than Cult, more in line with previous chapters Asylum (Season 2) and Coven (Season 3).
Murphy also gave the first details on the characters (and the actors playing them) that will be featured in Season 8. Returning cast member Evan Peters will play a “comedic hairstylist.” The recently cast Joan Collins will portray the character’s grandmother.
Murphy teased that Season 8 will feature three minority leads, in addition to series headliners Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates.
THR reported that Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter and Leslie Grossman will also be back. Eichner and Grossman announced their returns on social media.
