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.
You know video game adaptations are hot when even Golden Axe is making the leap to the screen. And indeed it is, with Deadline reporting that the Sega Genesis video game franchise that debuted back in 1989 is getting an animated series at Comedy Central.
Comedy Central has given “Golden Axe” a 10-episode order, Deadline reports today.
The voice cast for the animated series from CBS Studios in association with Sony Pictures Television and Original Film includes Matthew Rhys (The Americans), Danny Pudi (Mythic Quest), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty), Liam McIntyre (Spartacus) and Carl Tart (Grand Crew).
“Described as a hilarious and loving homage to Sega’s video game series, Golden Axe follows veteran warriors Ax Battler, Tyris Flare and Gilius Thunderhead as they once again battle to save Yuria from the evil giant Death Adder who just won’t seem to stay dead. Fortunately, this time they have the inexperienced and underprepared Hampton Squib on their side.”
Mike McMahan (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Joe Chandler (American Dad!) will co-write the first episode and executive produce the series, with Chandler serving as showrunner.
The original Golden Axe video game was released in 1989, followed by sequels in 1991, 1992 and 1993. The series got a modern day upgrade with Golden Axe: Beast Rider in 2008.
