The Addition of a “Secret Friend” Being Teased for Epic Crossover Season of “American Horror Story”
This year’s eighth season of FX’s “American Horror Story” will begin on September 12th, and as we recently learned, it’ll be the season that crosses over the worlds of Season 1’s “Murder House” and Season 3’s “Coven.” The returning and new cast members, you ask?
Confirmed so far are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Joan Collins, Cheyenne Jackson, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Billy Eichner and Adina Porter.
The returns of Emma Roberts and Taissa Farmiga have also been teased.
Over on Instagram recently, Eichner posted a photo of he and the “AHS” Season 8 cast out to dinner, with one actor hidden by an image of a ghost laid over top of the photo. Eichner teases that whoever is beneath the sheet is “a secret friend,” and that it’s gonna be a wild season.
Naturally, the hottest rumor is that Jessica Lange is the “secret friend,” which would mark her return to the “AHS” family after departing the series post-“Freak Show.” Just about one year ago, Ryan Murphy had teased that he’d want to bring Lange back for what was at that time the eventual “Murder House”/”Coven” crossover, noting that he could probably bribe her.
Given she had major roles in both seasons, we sure are hoping to see Lange back this year.
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.
