More names and a couple of surprise characters have been revealed in the latest American Horror Story trailer, which will release next week ahead of the anthology spin-off premiere.
It’ll be here very soon. The first two episodes of American Horror Stories, a spin-off anthology series based on the original anthology series, are due to premiere on Hulu on July 15, and we now have a better sense of which American Horror Story alums will be joining the franchise’s newbies.

Billie Lourd, John Carroll Lynch, Matt Bomer, Naomi Grossman, and Charles Melton will reprise their roles as series regulars, with AHS alum Sarah Paulson serving as the director of one of the episodes. Gavin Creel, Kevin McHale, Sierra McCormick, Madison Bailey, Kyle Red Silverstein, Dyllón Burnside, Ashley Martin Carter, Paris Jackson, Belissa Escobedo, Kaia Gerber, Aaron Tveit, Rhenzy Feliz, Nico Greetham, and Virginia Gardner are among the newcomers to the franchise.
The new series is a collection of 16 stand-alone stories. There are some familiar faces, including the much-teased “Rubber Man” monster that has been a part of the series since its first season, Murder House. Rubber (Wo)man Part 1 and Part 2, Drive In, and The Naughty List were the names of the first four episodes released. This makes us wonder what they have in store for us this summer.

The Naughty List is about a group of influencers who face consequences after posting a controversial video online, and it is likely to be the episode in which action movie legend and Machete star Danny Trejo will make his American Horror Story debut as Santa. There will almost certainly be body parts flying when he comes to town.
Amy Grabow, who plays Tipper Gore, is the other new cast member whose character has been revealed. Ryan Murphy previously stated that each of the stories in this series will focus on a different aspect of mythology or tradition but AHS has never required logic so who knows.
With sixteen episodes, the series will run until Halloween, and there will be plenty of stories to share in the interim.
