Ryan Murphy Says “American Horror Story” Season 8 Takes Place in the Future
“American Horror Story”… in space?
At the Television Critics Association’s press tour today, TV Line reports tonight, “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy teased the very first details for this year’s Season 8.
“It takes place in the future,” Murphy revealed. “It’s still topical, but [set in] the future, which I’ve never done… I think people will like it.“
He added, “It’s different from what we’ve done before.”
What Murphy did not reveal was how far into the future Season 8 will be set. Will it be the distant future, or just a handful of years past the present day? We have no idea.
One thing we do know is that Season 8 will *not* be the “Murder House”/”Coven” crossover Murphy has recently promised. That may be Season 9, he hints.
“We’re working on it, but that’s not going to be [Season 8],” said Murphy. “That will probably be the one after that. We’ve already met about it and outlined it. But it won’t be next because some of the [cast members] are not available.”
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
