A new season of the anthology series American Horror Story is set to start airing on FX on August 25th. This one is called American Horror Story: Double Feature because, for the first time in the show's history, the season is going to be split into two different stories. The first one is called Red Tide and appears to be about killer mermaids, while the second story is called Death Valley and deals with aliens. The "double feature" / "worlds colliding" aspect of the season is played up in the newly released trailer, which can be seen above and shows sirens cavorting with aliens.
The cast of American Horror Story: Double Feature includes Sarah Paulson, Macaulay Culkin, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross, Finn Wittrock, and Kaia Gerber. The official synopsis says Double Feature will be telling
two horrifying stories, one by the sea… the other by the sand.
Murphy has said that Culkin will be playing an "insane part" that involves having "crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates". Paulson teased that her character "has some issues" and sports a hair color that has never been on Paulson's head before.
Mermaids/Sirens and Aliens were both on a poll American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy hosted on his Instagram account, where he asked fans what sort of subjects they would like to see covered in future seasons. It looks like Murphy was already planning to put both of those options into the new season, regardless of how many votes they received.
I have seen the first two episodes of the spin-off American Horror Stories and maybe the first two episodes of American Horror Story season 1, so I don't know much about this show. The fact that the new season is split into two is intriguing to me, though.
