Cheyenne Jackson Confirmed for “American Horror Story” Return
Cheyenne Jackson, who was part of the huge “American Horror Story: Roanoke” twist, will be returning to FX’s anthology series in the politically-themed seventh season.
JustJared’s paparazzi caught the 41-year-old actor on set by his co-star Sarah Paulson, while earlier reports from the Los Angeles shoot also caught Evan Peters at work.
In past seasons, Cheyenne played the role of Will Drake in “Hotel” and Sidney James in “Roanoke”. He also worked with series creator Ryan Murphy previously in three episodes of “Glee”.
Season 7 will draw some level of inspiration from last year’s presidential election, with the events of the season beginning on election night.
The full cast confirmed includes Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billy Eichner, Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
