Just revealed via a countdown at comicon
AHS-APOCALYPSE.jpg

The title for the upcoming eighth season of American Horror Story has been officially revealed!

AHS: Apocalypse was announced at midnight PST on Friday morning (July 20) during an event held at 2018 Comic-Con in San Diego, Calif.

A graphic of a baby being touched by a creepy-looking hand was shown with the title announcement.

The upcoming season, which is said to be a crossover of season one's Murder House and season three's Coven, will premiere on FX on September 12.

looks like it's about the antichrist baby from the first season

Interesting. I've only actually watched the first two seasons, would it be worth finishing?

Will Jessica Lange's deliciously campy performance grace this season? If not, keep it Ryan. Not like it was gonna be good anyway.

Oh shit color me hyped. I have been waiting for them to do this one since they confirmed the shared universe.

Roanoke was top tier American Horror Story and deserves a spot alongside Murder House and Asylum.

btw, if you have FX on demand like through your cable provider, they have every season of AHS except maybe not all of the last one? Not sure. Anyway if you feel like binging, go nuts.

I dropped it near the end of Coven because it was a real pain. Performances were fun, but the plot was such a huge mess.

How is it? I quite enjoyed Murder House, tbh.

Nothing has come close to Murder House when it comes to television greatness. Asylum was pretty good, Coven was a bit better than Asylum, Freak Show was shit, Hotel was ok, Roanoke was ok, and I haven't watched Cult.

If this is something a crossover for Murder House and Cove , I expect to return to that quality. Maybe get some of that great cast back for some episodes with Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott?

Interesting. We knew it was going to be a crossover, but it looks like they're really leaning into the anti christ stuff from Murder House (they need Jessica Lange back though because her character was sort of integral to the baby's). It would be amazing if they went full religious apocalypse and ended the AHS timeline with this season (future seasons could be set in the past).

I'm going to assume this season's theme will be 'violence', so maybe Witches vs Anti Christ?

The past two seasons were really shitty. The last good one was Hotel and that was only good if you binge watched it. Coven is my favorite season (except that HORRIBLE, HOOOOOOOOOOOORIBLE finale) so hopefully this next one will be better.

I haven't really watched since Coven so this will likely be right up my alley. The few episodes I saw of Roanoke were so over the top with gore that it really turned me off even getting back into the show. With this maybe I can pretend S1-S3 are all that exist. Shame they killed of Queenie though prior to this season.

Can't wait for the messy storytelling, filler episodes, shock value sexual violence and cameos from famous pop singers.

I honestly can't tell you why I continue to watch this every year when I have utterly despised every season but Murder House and Freakshow.

I dropped out of this show after Hotel. Since this is 1 x 3, can I safely check it out without missing much?

So some sort of witchy anitichrist story?

I'm down if Jessica Lange is back. I wanted to love Coven, but despite a few bright moments, it really didn't take advantage of the setting and material. And the ending was rushed and silly. Like most seasons of AHS, I guess.

Can they get the people who do their advertisements to work on the actual show? The imagery in those is so much better, and then when the similar thing comes up in the show proper it looks like a joke.

I guess I really should watch Coven then.

To be honest, I came into this thread to say how horrible it's going to be because the last several seasons were abysmal dreck. Roanoke was worse than I ever thought possible, embarrassingly so. But Murder House is the only truly good season of the show and I hope they'll do it justice.

You might as well watch Hotel then because it crosses over with Coven in a pretty major way (in one episode).

Coven is the only one I haven't watched, because I didn't have the channel at the time. Though to be honest, I stopped watching the last season after a few episodes and planned to never watch this awful show again.

Hotel was not very good at all.

Coven was so campy it was almost good.

Never finished Freak Show and Hotel. Maybe I'll check out Roanoke.

I don't really see how the Coven crossover part really brings any interest considering most of the actually interesting characters in that season were killed off.

Top 3 seasons which were great.

1. Season 1: Murder House

2. Season 3: Coven

3. Season 6: Roanoke

The rest sucked.
