Unfortunately, that’s all we know for now about the cast of AHS season 11. There’s no word on some of the most iconic actors from the series, such as Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, or Lily Rabe. It would be such a shame if they didn’t return, though!

Additionally, we also don’t know a great deal about the plot of this latest season. Previously, each season has been relatively self-contained, although they take place in the same universe. Apocalypse was the first time we saw two seasons’ characters and themes collide. In season 10, Double Feature, the writers split the season into two storylines. These were called Red Tide and Death Valley, and some of the same actors appeared in each part.

However, for AHS season 11, Landgraf did confirm that they were focusing on just one story. He said:

“What I can tell you is that the concept of Season 11 is one story. It actually takes place in different timelines, but it’s one subject, one story, with a beginning, middle and an end, like many of the prior stories.”

Landgraf also teased the theme of AHS season 11 while comparing it to the season split of Double Feature:

“I think it was really good. I liked the two shorter stories format. But I actually really like this idea, too. I think it’s really cool.”

In the show, Ryan Murphy and the other writers have already explored many different ideas. We’ve had haunted houses with Murder House, slashers and aliens with Asylum, and witchcraft with Coven. Freak Show showed clowns and circuses, while Hotel revisited ghosts and vampires. Roanoke on the colony of the same name, as well as reality TV. Cult centred upon famous cults through the years.

As we mentioned, Apocalypse showed the characters of various seasons battling against the end of the world. 1984 revisited the idea of slashers and 80s movies. Double Feature had vampires again as well as conspiracies. Who knows what they’ll think up for AHS season 11?!

Ever since the first season came out in 2011, American Horror Story has been a hit show for FX. So much so that they renewed it for three seasons, as well as a spin-off. When FX renewed the show, Landgraf said:

“Ryan and Brad are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX’s highest-rated series. We are grateful to them and Dana Walden, and our studio partners for committing to another three years. AHS has showcased a wealth of award-winning actors since day one, and we appreciate the contributions of everyone, including Ryan, Brad, and fellow executive producers Tim Minear, James Wong, Alexis Martin Woodall, and Bradley Buecker, the writers, directors, cast and crew for each, new, unforgettable installment of American Horror Story.”

We can’t wait for AHS season 11! You can catch it in the fall on FX.
