‘American Horror Story’ Season 9: Everything We Know So Far | Glamour

Surprise, bitch: A new season of American Horror Story is on the horizon. Yes, Ryan Murphy’s annual fright fest is coming back sometime this fall, and as usual we don’t know much about what’s ahead. Murphy is notoriously secretive about the AHS seasons; we often don’t know the theme or the full cast or anything until roughly a month before the show’s premiere.

That being said, there are some tidbits about the ninth installation that are trickling out. A few cast members have already confirmed their return, while others have announced they’re sitting this season out. Murphy, who isn’t that active on social media, has teased a few things on Instagram as well, including an official camera test featuring his main actors in costume. We may still be pretty much in the dark when it comes to American Horror Story season nine, but there’s enough info out there to get fans excited.

So let’s dig in, shall we? Here’s everything we know about the latest season of AHS.

The first official trailer: FX released it on Monday, August 26. From the looks of it, we’re in for a campy, Scream Queens-esque thrill ride.

The theme: Ryan Murphy unveiled the theme for AHS season nine on Wednesday, April 10. It’s titled “1984” and appears to take place at a summer camp in—you guessed it—the 1980s. Based on this teaser, below, the season appears to be a riff on Friday the 13th.
