The poster for American Horror Story: Double Feature surprises with a reintroduction of the aliens featured in American Horror Story: Asylum. The FX horror anthology series started in 2011, which quickly gained popularity. The audience reception to each season has not been consistent, although it remains to pull in strong ratings for the network. Regardless, performances from the stellar cast have remained a highlight of the show, resulting in Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award wins spread between Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, James Cromwell, and Lady Gaga.
American Horror Story: 1984 is the most recent season of Ryan Murphy's horror anthology series. Soon after, Double Feature, also known as season 10, was given the go-ahead by FX, and later, another three seasons were also greenlit. This summer will also see the release of American Horror Stories, a new anthology spinoff series, which will premiere on July 15. The network has been teasing the two shows coming full circle, with a previously released poster for American Horror Stories referencing the Rubber Man and the Murder House from American Horror Story season 1.
FX released a brand new poster to tease Double Feature, which features an alien from the second season, subtitled Asylum. The new poster confirms the August 25 release date while showing an alien kissing a mermaid with a black pill in between their tongues.
American Horror Story: Double Feature promises "one story by the sea" and "one story by the sand," as well as a large cast that fans have come to expect. The cast for the new installment is a mix of names that are new and old to the franchise. This list includes Denis O'Hare, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Angelica Ross, Lily Rabe, Macaulay Culkin, Finn Wittrock, and more. With this upcoming season focusing on dual stories, there are a lot of directions that season 10 can go in. The show has always worn its inspirations on its sleeve, so audiences will have to wait and see how the posters hint at how Double Feature unfolds.
There is a lot of content coming from the horror anthology franchise this summer between Double Feature and American Horror Stories. The posters for American Horror Story are always haunting, disturbing, yet beautiful in a strange way, and American Horror Story: Double Feature is no exception. It successfully communicates the stories "by sea" and "by sand," especially with the color palette. With the release dates for both installments quickly approaching, there may soon be more content to get fans excited for what is in store for the popular FX series.
