Ryan Murphy recently announced the confirmed cast for the planned tenth season of “American Horror Story,” a list that included one name that really surprised us: Macaulay Culkin. Yes, the Home Alone star is joining the wacky world of “AHS,” and Murphy teases in a new chat with E! News that his role is going to be a wild one.

“You know, it came about just because it’s how I always do things [laughs] where I have always loved Macaulay Culkin’s work. I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while,” Murphy told the outlet.

He continued, “So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said okay. [When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told him the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.”

“I’m excited for him to be in my world because I think…I’m gonna want to do a lot of things with him if he wants to work, because I think he’s fascinating and interesting, and I think he has a soul. There’s both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to,” Murphy added.

The bad news? As we learned earlier this week, it’s possible that coronavirus-related delays will force Ryan Murphy and the “AHS” team to change their Season 10 plans entirely, and it’s highly likely that we won’t be getting any new “AHS” content this year at all.

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
