“American Horror Story” Fans May Have Uncovered Season 8 Theme
The season will be set in the near future.
Unlike previous seasons, we do know *a little bit* about the upcoming eighth season of “American Horror Story” already, as Ryan Murphy recently noted that it’ll take place in “the near future,” which would make it the first season not set in the past or present. He added, “It has nothing to do with anything you’ve ever seen before. It’s really chilling.”
We also know that Sarah Paulson is already on board.
Nothing further has been officially confirmed at this time, but the Twitter account @AHSLeaks may have cracked the case this week. The account, run by a hardcore “AHS” fan, uncovered that Twentieth Century Fox just filed a trademark for the title “American Horror Story: Radioactive,” which *could* be Season 8’s theme/title.
Again, we know nothing for sure, but a title like “Radioactive” does seem to connect with a confirmed storyline set in the near future. Could “American Horror Story” be heading into the post apocalypse this season? Could the show even take a page out of “The Walking Dead” playbook and give us a season centered on zombies?
We’ll update you if/when we learn something more than speculation.

Disney+ is bringing a mystery-thriller vibe to the Star Wars Universe with upcoming series “The Acolyte,” and a bloody official poster has been unleashed this morning.
Additionally, we’ve learned “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will premiere on June 4. Check out the official art below, which replaces a lightsaber beam with a streak of blood…
Bloody violence in the Star Wars Universe? It’s about time! The poster’s tagline reads, “In an age of light… a darkness rises.” Expect the show’s official trailer tomorrow, March 19.

“The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
A former Padawan reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.
The High Republic saw the Jedi Order at its prime, centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
“The Acolyte” comes from creator, showrunner, and executive producer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll). The executive producers are Kathleen Kennedy, Simon Emanuel, Jeff F. King, and Jason Micallef. Rayne Roberts and Damian Anderson are producing.
