After one of the most fan-pleasing build-ups in years, the eagerly-anticipated eigth eason of American Horro Story kicks off tonight in the US (12 September).
With all the excitement surrounding the fact that AHS: Apocalypse will feature as crossover with two of the horror anthology series’ most popular instalments – 2011’s Murder House and 2013’s Coven – it’s been easy to forget that the new series will feature a brand new cast of characters alongside the old fan favourites (come through, Madison Montgomery).
Ahead of the season’s return, FX have unveiled official cast images for the colourful array of characters who form the central storyline of events in Apocalypse.
One notable omission is that of Dame Joan Collins, who we saw breifly in the series trailer and who’ll be guest starring as the “glamours” grandmother of Evan Peters’ new character, who we now know is called Mr Gallant.
