In a somber video posted to Instagram, series creator and showrunner Ryan Murphy revealed the new and returning cast members. The video featured no other details about the plot or release date, but it did include a gloomy shot of the ocean, set to the song "Dead of Night" by Orville Peck.
Two main cast members, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, will return after missing last season for the first time. Joining them will be Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross and Finn Wittrock.
Culkin most recently appeared as a guest star in Hulu's comedy series "Dollface." Every other actor featured in the video has appeared in at least one previous season of "AHS."
