FX Provides a Brush Up Course on Everything You Need to Remember Before “AHS: Apocalypse”
Look to the past to prepare for the future.
This season of “American Horror Story” is a bit different from the others, as it’s going to require you to remember things from past seasons. After all, “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” mashes together “Murder House” and “Coven,” with nearly all your favorites returning.
In order to make sure you’re brushed up before TONIGHT’S PREMIERE, the official FX website just put together a detailed article that breaks down “Murder House” and “Coven,” touching upon the key points that you should have in mind before “Apocalypse” begins.
Read the full article for everything you need to know.
Here are some crucial bullet points:
- The Harmon family, from Murder House, are all dead.
- Vivien Harmon’s son, Michael, is the actual anti-Christ.
- Cordelia Foxx is the Supreme queen of New Orleans.
- Madison Montgomery, Myrtle Snow, and Misty Day are very dead.
- Stevie Nicks was somehow involved in all of this.
Jessica Lange will be reprising the role of “Murder House” character Constance Langdon. “Murder House” couple Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton are also back.
Cody Fern (“Assassination of Gianni Versace”) will be playing the adult version of Tate’s evil baby from “Murder House.” He’s not just evil, he’s the Anti-Christ.
Also confirmed are Sarah Paulson as Cordelia Foxx, Billie Dean Howard AND a new character, Emma Roberts as Madison Montgomery, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Joan Collins, Cheyenne Jackson, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Billy Eichner and Adina Porter.
Taissa Farmiga is back as both Violet Harmon and Zoe Benson, alongside Gabourey Sidibe, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy and Stevie Nicks.
Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (“UnReal”) and Kyle Allen (“The Path”) recently joined the cast, both actors appearing in a “guest” capacity.
Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
