American Horror Story: Double Feature: Murphy Clarifies S10 Details

Okay, it's the day after Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk released the official title for the tenth season of FX and FX on Hulu's American Horror Story, which means AHS fans have had a lot of time to play and replay a 30-second clip in that time to ingest all of the details. American Horror Story: Double Feature will feature two stories in one season- one by the sea and one by the sand. But as impressed as we were by the news, we're realizing now that we didn't truly appreciate the scope of what Murphy announced- thankfully, the horror anthology's co-creator stepped in to explain. Responding to a comment in the Instagram post announcing the season's title for more clarity, Murphy wrote that the news means viewers will be getting "two seasons" that will air in "one calendar year." Even more interesting? All of the buzzing everyone's been doing about the cast? Apparently, it's for the storyline set by the set- Murphy reveals that the cast for the storyline set by the sand hasn't been announced yet:

Here's a look back at the announcement video that was released on Friday:

Here's a look back at the teaser video Murphy posted on Wednesday confirming Friday's reveal (and for a look back at our 13 mostly-serious titles, travel down the rabbit's hole here):

What We Know About American Horror Story: Double Feature

Now that we know the season's title, let's look back at a chunk of what we know so far- starting with Murphy posting an image of sand dunes on a beach with the caption, "American Horror Story. Clue." Considering the imagery and the location of Provincetown, Massachusetts, being utilized for filming on the upcoming season, we're wondering if the story will include the "Lady in the Dunes": the name was given to the body of an unidentified woman discovered in July 1974. Though efforts were made in 1980, 2000, and 2013, to learn the victim's true identity (and identity of her killer) remains unknown.

Then in late August, Murphy posted an image of a set of sharpened teeth with the news that production on the tenth season would begin in October. Could the set of sharpened jaws be teasing a water-based menace? Possibly killer mermaids? And what about Sarah Paulson's tease (joke?) about aliens being a factor? Then we were gifted new key art (along with key art for spinoff anthology American Horror Stories, which Dylan McDermott is hinting that he will be a part of) that looks to keep the theory alive (with Paulson teasing more details in a podcast that she and Murphy did should be dropping sometime soon).

Finn Wittrock revealed that "this season is structured in a way no other season has been" and that "it has something to do with sharp teeth." Ross took to Twitter in January 2021 to let AHS fans know that the upcoming season was "going to get very bloody very quick" and who she would have scenes with, and Billie Lourd has apparently already started back. Paulson revealed more teases about her character to EW: "The character I'm playing this year on 'Horror Story' has some issues, let's just put it that way." Paulson continued, "I have a hair color I've never had in life nor in the show. That's what I can tell you. And I have a great name. I have a great name, which I can't tell you."

Lily Rabe had this to say about her character: "I can say that the person I'm playing on this season is nothing like anyone I've played on the show before, and I am having such a wonderful time with her and with my fellow actors. I love this season. I love this season. I think new fans of the show will love this season, but the longtime fans of the show, I just can't wait to share this season with them. There's something about it – I wish I could say more." In a separate interview, Rabe would compare the season's energy with that of the first season, Murder House. Last week, Leslie Grossman tweeted this to get the speculation fires burning: "Just got pitched the finale of AHS Season 10 by [Ryan Murphy] himself and I fell to the floor and cannot breathe you guys have no idea what's heading your way."

Set to the tune of Orville Peck's Dead of Night, the American Horror Story cast reveal video below confirmed that AHS powerhouse alums Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Billy Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross, Finn Wittrock, and Frances Conroy will return. In addition, Home Alone alum Macaulay Culkin as well as Spencer Novich, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Pierce Cady, and V Nixie will be a part of this season's cast. Axelle Carolyn (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Haunting of Bly Manor) is set to direct an episode this season.
