Everybody’s talking about: American Horror Story
The next season of the show has a theme, and erm… It’s a little on the nose. Creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that he’s basing Season 7 on the 2016 US election. Help!
I don’t have a title, but the season that we begin shooting in June is going to be about the election that we just went through.
Asked if Trump was to be a character, Murphy said: “Maybe.” Lord.
