American Horror Story, which is now pushing a decade on the air, may be a television institution that’s seemingly done it all across its various anthology iterations, but the long-in-the-tooth Ryan Murphy-created FX series is proving that it’s thirsty for more with the surprise announcement of its tenth season cast, revealing former child superstar Macaulay Culkin!
Murphy, in what has become a tradition, personally unveiled the ensemble lineup for American Horror Story Season 10 on his Instagram with a teaser video for the untitled anthology iteration. Set to the soundtrack of masked cowboy singer Orville Peck’s wistfully dreamy “Dead of Night,” the clip showcases the gloomy scenery of a beach, over which the revelatory cast credits roll.
American Horror Story, which debuted on FX back on October 5, 2011, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, with the network having recently made an advance renewal for three more seasons after this year’s Season 10, essentially ensuring the show’s existence until at least 2023. Indeed, Season 10 itself was ordered well in advance back in August 2018, set to arrive in 2020 as the follow-up to 2019’s Season 9, which, titled AHS: 1984, brandished a retro thematic approach evocative of 1980s slasher films.
There’s no official release date (or, for that matter, a proper title) set for American Horror Story Season 10. However, the series reliably premieres in the fall, typically in September, in time for a run that appropriately crosses the Halloween season.
