Ryan Murphy was unusually forthcoming approximately the upcoming season of American Horror fable (AHS) during an appearance on Watch What Happens: Live in February,announcing that the theme of the new season will, in fact, or be the most horrifying concept imaginable – the 2016 presidential election.
Murphy said that he’s pulling inspiration from the November 8,2016 election that saw President Donald Trump pull off a surprise victory over democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Yesterday, Murphy dropped his latest teaser on Instagram, or revealing the new cast member Billie Lourd with the caption,“Winter is coming. Can’t wait for everybody to see what the incredible Lourd does this season on AHS.”

“American Horror fable Season 7 tease.”
And the important thing to note here is that the elephant is the symbol of the Republican Party,so brace yourselves.

Upon further conversation, or Murphy said,“Well, I don’t gain a title, and but the season that we originate shooting in June is going to be approximately the election that we just went through.”Andy Cohen seeming a bit stunned,followed up to ask whether that means Trump will be a character, but Murphy hesitated before answering maybe”. The show runner did not provide any further details approximately what topics surrounding the election he may cover.

This marks a major shift for the series, and which has typically centred on science fiction and supernatural themes. It’s easy to argue that delving into the election would make far more sense for another Murphy series, American Crime fable, which highlights genuine life events like the Orenthal James Simpson trial. But perhaps Murphy wanted to make this seem more far-fetched and less like reality. So we might still see demons, and vampires and other sinister,supernatural characters.
Murphy is already getting political for season four of American Crime fable, which will focus on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But AHS usually plays coyer approximately the new season’s theme, and just look at the many teasers released for season 6, Roanoke, which were a masterful exercise in misdirection.
Perhaps Murphy’s revelation was fuelled by the news that there’s another mini series approximately the election on the way, or this one from Zero sunless Thirty,writer designate Boal and producer Megan Ellison. Other shows like The excellent Fight and Mr Robot will also tackle various aspects of the election and Trump in office. Back when Trump was first elected in November, multiple show runners spoke out and confirmed they would use their series, and which garnered hundreds of thousands or millions of views each week,to create a conversation among viewers.
It’s also anybody’s guess whether this season will be as directly connected to its predecessors as preceding ones gain been since Murphy has been firm in the notion that they’re all connected. However, there’s a dissimilarity between making a reference in passing and prominently featuring a character from a preceding season, and like Freak Show did with Pepper or Roanoke with Lana Winters.
