While we know that American Horror Story season 10 is officially coming on FX, it seems like we won't be seeing the anthology series anytime soon. The network previously announced that it won't be arriving in 2020. This is sad news for many, but there's also a reason behind the delay.
Recently, FX confirmed that American Horror Story season 10 is delayed and won't be coming this 2020. The series hasn't been able to start filming due to the current global health crisis. While some shows were able to start production and choose an alternative release date, this doesn't work for the FX program.
One of the major problems of American Horror Story season 10 is that it relies on a particular part of the year for filming. Since it has been delayed, the climate won't favor the production perfectly. After all, some suggest the theme of the new installment involves the beach.
In addition, the series usually airs around Halloween and there's no way it could premiere around that time at this point. The cast and crew members won't be able to start working anytime soon, so fans may need to wait for a while. CarterMatt suggests the new installment will be released before fall 2021.
As mentioned, the beach might be an integral part of American Horror Story season 10. In his latest Instagram post, showrunner Ryan Murphy shared a photo of a beach with a caption: American Horror Story. Clue. This is likely a hint that the beach would be the theme of the upcoming installment.
While there are still a lot of questions what would be the story of American Horror Story season 10, it's apparent that Murphy is teasing that beach is the DNA of the story. Some speculated it could be dealing with folklore around the sea, such as mermaids or deep-sea creatures.
Meanwhile, the new season will be introducing a new face once it premieres. It has been confirmed that Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin joins the anthology series. His role, however, remains unknown at the moment. Aside from Culkin, the latest installment will also bring the familiar faces of the franchise.
AHS veterans Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, who are both missing in season 9, are set to return in American Horror Story season 10, with Paulson playing the "central character." Other returning cast members include Finn Wittrock, Adina Porter, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Angelica Ross, Lily Rabe, and Leslie Grossman.
