The first trailer for American Horror Story: Apocalypse was released Monday, teasing a crossover of the Murder House and Coven seasons. The 45-second trailer does not include footage from the show, but instead starts with a fetus growing inside an hourglass, with images linking the first and third seasons popping up throughout.
Apocalypse will also bring back Jessica Lange, who appeared in the first four seasons and won two Emmys for her role, FX said at the Television Critics Association press tour. Lange will play Constance Langdon, her character from Murder House. Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates and Evan Peters, who have all appeared in previous seasons of the horror anthology series, will also appear in Apocalypse. The Assassination of Gianni Versace star Cody Fern will play Michael Langdon, co-creator Ryan Murphy said.
During the press tour, FX also announced that AHS was renewed through season 10.
“Ryan asked for a 10th season of American Horror Story which we were happy to give to him,” FX Networks CEO John Landgraf told Deadline last week. “He has a very busy schedule, with new cycles of American Crime Story and Feud, there is active development on all of them… He has been really prolific; he has been an important part of the FX brand, and he will continue to be a very important part of the FX brand.”
The eighth season of American Horror Story starts on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
