Evan Peters and Kathy Bates Confirmed for “American Horror Story” Season 8!
Kathy Bates, a longtime “American Horror Story” staple, was not involved in last year’s “American Horror Story: Cult,” but she’s coming back for this year’s Season 8. Additionally, Ryan Murphy has revealed that a returning Evan Peters will co-star alongside both Bates and the previously announced Sarah Paulson.
“Kathy and Sarah Paulson have a lot of great stuff to get to do,” Murphy told EW today. “So, with Evan Peters, the three of them are the leads this year.”
Murphy also addressed the recent rumors that the near future-set Season 8, which doesn’t yet have a confirmed theme, will be titled “American Horror Story: Radioactive.”
“I heard about that rumor,” he told EW. “Well, that’s based on a fact that we’ve cleared a lot of titles for that show. It’s an interesting idea. I can neither confirm nor deny.”
Look for “AHS” to return to FX this coming Fall.
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.
