Premiering in 2011, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story has explored a number of different horror settings and supernatural beings in its almost ten years on the air. A perennial favorite, American Horror Story is set to return through Season 13, while a spin-off is also in the works.
Here's what we know so far about American Horror Story Season 10, which is subtitled Double Feature, including the next entry in the series' plot, trailer and release date information.
What Is American Horror Story: Double Feature's Plot?
Murphy confirmed that Double Feature will be made up of two mini-series, describing the installments as "two horrifying stories...one by the sea [and] one by the sand." The first is titled "Red Tide," while the second is "Death Valley." How exactly the two stories will intersect is not known at this time. The two parts will have different settings, with "Red Tide" having a sea-side location while "Death Valley" is by the desert.
As a result of the show's filming location, Provincetown, Massachusetts, there are theories Double Feature may be related to a real-life case known as the "Lady of the Dunes," an unsolved murder from 1974 in which the body of a decapitated woman washed up on shore in the area.
American Horror Story: Double Feature will see the return of a number of series regulars, including Sarah Paulson as TB Karen, Evan Peters as Austin, Finn Wittrock as Harry Gardener, Lily Rabe as Doris Gardener, Frances Conroy as Belle Noir, Leslie Grossman as Ursula, Billie Lourd as Lark, Adina Porter as Chief Burelson and Angelica Ross as The Chemist. Additionally, Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin has joined the franchise as Mickey, while contortionist Spencer Novich will play Pale Person.
Does American Horror Story: Double Feature Have a Trailer?
A trailer for American Horror Story: Double Feature was released on July 27. While that footage doesn't reveal much of the plot, it does give viewers their best look yet at this installment's monsters.
What Is American Horror: Double Feature's Release Date?
Originally slated to air this year, American Horror Story: Double Feature was delayed as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Murphy has noted that, as a result of the pandemic, Season 10's theme may change, as according to the show's co-creator, "A lot of what I was going to shoot was dependent on a very specific moment, it was a weather-dependent show. [...] I don’t know if I’ll accelerate another season or wait till next year to shoot this one."
Currently, American Horror Story: Double Feature is slated to start airing Aug. 25 on FX.
