The seventh season of FX’s “American Horror Story” is filming this summer for premiere in the fall, and all we really know so far is that its drawing inspiration from last year’s real life presidential election. We’re told that the first episode will begin on the night of the election, but don’t expect to see Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as recurring characters.
We previously learned that Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will be returning, and Deadline reports today that Billy Eichner (“Billy on the Street”) will be joining them. The site notes that he’ll be featured in a “heavily recurring” role, expected to last six or seven of the season’s eleven episodes. Eichner will reportedly be playing a close confidant of Paulson’s character.
As for the character Paulson is playing, we have no idea.
More as we learn it.
