‘American Horror Story: NYC’ Preview
Everyone’s favorite horror anthology is back with its 11th season, subtitled “NYC.” Franchise actors Billie Lourd, Zachary Quinto, Leslie Grossman, and Denis O’Hare are returning alongside newscomers to the series Joe Mantello, Russell Tovey, Charlie Carver, Sandra Bernhard, Isaac Powell, Patti LuPone, Kyle Beltran, Sis, Rebecca Dayan, and Kal Penn.
Like most years, Ryan Murphy and crew are keeping details about the season under wraps, but FX Chairman John Landgraf told The Wrap that the season is one story spread across different timelines.
“What I can tell you is that the concept for season 11 is one story,” Landgraf said. “It actually takes place in different timelines but it’s one subject, one story, with a beginning, middle and an end, like many of the prior stories.”
He added, “I think [season 10] really was good. I liked the two shorter stories format. But I actually really like this idea [for season 11] too, I think it’s really cool.”
The whole season will air as two-hour two-parters encompassing two full episodes each week. The premiere is episodes one and two, titled “Something’s Coming” and “Thank You For Your Service.” The descriptions read, “Mysterious deaths and disappearances ramp up in the city. A doctor makes a frightening discovery, and a local reporter becomes tomorrow’s headline,” and “Gino grapples with his trauma. Patrick’s search takes him to dark places. A stranger contacts Hannah with a grave warning.”
Then on October 26 comes episodes three and four, titled “Smoke Signals” and “Black Out.” Their descriptions read, “Without the NYPD’s help, Gino is forced to get resourceful. A traumatizing event brings dangerous suspects closer than ever,” and “As darkness consumes the city, evil takes root in the unlikeliest of places…”
Series stalwart Sarah Paulson, who has been in every season so far except “1984” in 2019, is not a part of “NYC” (unless she pops up as a surprise and the show is keeping it a secret).
In an interview with Variety, she said she’s open to returning, but she was ready for a break.
“It’s not that I’m not open to [returning]. I’m always open to it, but I feel like I’ve been doing it for a long time, and people might start getting sick of me in that world,” said Paulson. “Let someone else scream and run and cry for a second. Other people can do that too! Also, my nervous system. There was a time when I was younger when I was like, ‘I can do this all night. I love it!’ Now I’m like, ‘Momma’s tired!’”
“American Horror Story: NYC” airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on FX.
