Murphy and the people behind the anthology horror television series are all tight-lipped about the details of “American Horror Story” Season 7. However, it has been revealed before that the new chapter’s theme will be about the election and the assumed mask seen on Instagram might represent the Republicans.
Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are bound to be back in the show’s seventh season, and they will be joined by the new cast members Billie Lourd and Billy Eichner. The roles of the said stars have yet to be revealed, but the character of the 38-year-old comedian is believed to be the “American Gothic” star’s pal.
A hint of the show’s plotline
Moreover, the show’s producer recently told E!
News that a lot of people though that Paulson will be playing the role of Hillary Clinton, so he cleared that the assumptions are not true. “Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory,” he said. He also explained that the new installment will be about the election America had just gone through, what happened on that night, and how everything fell down.

This alone, for a lot of people, is a big real-life horror story and as the show is known for creating zeitgeist, Murphy revealed that is what exactly they are doing now. Also, he added that anyone will not portray the appearance of Clinton and Donald Trump, but they will be seen as themselves on TV.
Murphy continued to narrate that the first 10 minutes of the new season will be set on the happenings of the 2016 election night. From here, something terrible will happen in the lives of the show’s characters as they are all watching how things go down.
