What to Expect from American Horror Story Season 13?
Evidently, several seasons of the show, such as Season 2, Season 6, and all the seasons after Season 8, are probably not included in the American Horror Story Season 13 crossover event.
But judging by the upcoming installment’s trailer and this rewatch list, Season 13 may be picking up where Apocalypse left off.
The crossover story between Murder House, Coven, and Hotel features time-travel themes as the witches try to prevent the Antichrist, Michael Langdon, from destroying the Earth.
However, Apocalypse’s epilogue teased that a new Antichrist, Devan Campbell (Nicholas Hodge), was born and quickly embraced by the Church of Satan and its leader, Anton LaVey (Carlo Rota).
American Horror Story will premiere on September 24 with the first three episodes on FX and Hulu, followed by a weekly schedule, with three episodes released in one week and two episodes the next.
