American Horror Story: New York City unveils more than a dozen character posters

A couple weeks ago, it was confirmed that the eleventh season of FX’s horror anthology series American Horror Story is called American Horror Story: New York City – and since then, the official American Horror Story Twitter account has been gradually releasing a batch of character posters. Fourteen American Horror Story: New York City character posters can now be seen at the bottom of this article.

The characters featured on these posters are Sam, played by Zachary Quinto; Adam, played by Charlie Carver; Patrick, played by Russell Tovey; Henry, played by Denis O’Hare; Kathy, played by Patti LuPone; Gino, played by Joe Mantello; Hannah, played by Billie Lourd; Fran, played by Sandra Bernhard; Theo, played by Isaac Powell; Barbara, played by Leslie Grossman; Mac Marzara, played by Kal Penn; Dunaway, played by Sis; Morris, played by Kyle Beltran; and Alana, played by Rebecca Dayan.

Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story is an anthology series where

each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a different set of characters and settings in the same fictional universe, and a storyline with its own “beginning, middle, and end.”

Although the title and setting of American Horror Story: New York City have been confirmed, as well as the names of several characters (and the actors playing them), the plot details are still being kept under wraps. A while back, Powell, Lourd, Carver, and Bernhard were spotted filming scenes for American Horror Story: New York City on the streets of Manhattan’s West Village. Deadline noted that “based on the costumes and exteriors, it appears to be set in the 1970s-80s”… basically the same place and time as another FX / Murphy project that’s in development, Studio 54: American Crime Story.

Murphy, Falchuk, Alexis Martin Woodall, John J. Gray, Manny Coto, Jennifer Salt, and Our Lady J are the executive producers on American Horror Story: New York City. The series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.
