I don’t think it’ll ruffle any feathers to call American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy a tad cryptic. The official Season 7 reveal is promised to us this Thursday, and Murphy has one last clue for TV super-sleuths: bees. No, not “beads.” Bees.

One could go a little mad stitching together the various connections of American Horror Story seasons, and the seventh year looks to be no different. Ryan Murphy teases a Freak Show connection waiting in the wings, along with a terrible, terrible comic idea.

We hardly bat an eye anymore at Ryan Murphy’s eclectic talent assembly, least of all for American Horror Story. It’d certainly seem plausible of Bates Motel star Vera Farmiga to join her younger sister Taissa as well, but apparently this is one rumor quickly snuffed out.

If American Horror Story Season 7 is to follow the aftermath of 2016’s election, they’re going to need a good producer. Enter The Newsroom star Alison Pill; reportedly latest to join the American Horror Story Season 7 cast in a mysterious role.

American Horror Story Season 7 remains curiously under-wraps for a series with its central premise and returning cast exposed, but new additions are always welcome. Latest to join the franchise is none other than Scream Queens and Arrow alum Colton Haynes, but in what role?

If you’re wondering why American Crime Story’s third, Versace-based season has made considerably more press than Season 2’s Katrina, there’s good reason. FX confirms that Versace will now serve as Season 2, as Katrina shores up its returning cast and special effects.

FX Russian spy drama The Americans feels uncomfortably topical in its twilight years, so we could use a laugh. A deeply … deeply unsettling laugh. Ahead of Season 5’s finale, have a look at The Americans as a cheery ‘80s sitcom centered around Paige, with no horrific murder, espionage or treason creeping in at all!

American Horror Story Season 7 isn’t keeping under anywhere near the same secrecy as its predecessor, though it still seems set photos are our main source of casting. Roanoke star Adina Porter was previously observed among the Season 7 cast, and now fellow returning star Cheyenne Jackson is back for more American Horror.

American Horror Story Season 7 isn’t quite under the same veil of secrecy as its predecessor, but has nonetheless sown confusion over its use of 2016 Election figures. First we wouldn’t see Trump and Clinton; then we would, and now Ryan Murphy finally clears up how.

The events of Ryan Murphy’s FX Feud took place long enough ago that precious few actually lived through them firsthand. Even a 100 year-old Olivia de Havilland amusingly disregarded Feud’s authenticity, to which Murphy concedes “everything that she says and does should be treasured.”

Just yesterday we heard Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter detailing production of FX’s upcoming spinoff pilot Mayans MC, and now we’re getting a first look. See the next MC clubhouse in a new photo of an upcoming scene from the Sons of Anarchy offshoot.

Until American Horror Story proves otherwise, Season 7 is the Year of Billies. Following the addition of comedian Billy Eichner, the seventh run of Ryan Murphy’s FX horror anthology has added Scream Queens star and Carrie Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd in a major role.
