“Well, I don’t have a title, but the season we begin shooting in June is going to be about the election that we just went through,” Murphy revealed. “So I think that will be interesting for a lot of people.”
Show veterans Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, both having appeared in every season of AHS, are set to return in Season 7 of the anthology horror series. FX renewed the series through Season 9 last month.
When asked if there will be a character based on President Donald Trump, Murphy said, “Maybe.”
