Murphy previously revealed that the upcoming season will have something to do with the recent 2016 presidential election, though it remains to be seen exactly how the show intends to pull that off. It was also teased that Twisty the Clown from "American Horror Story: Freak Show" will be making an appearance in some form or another.
The seventh season will also see a lot of new faces joining the "American Horror Story" family. "Girls" star Lena Dunham is the latest notable name revealed to be in the cast. "Scream" alum Billie Lourd and "Teen Wolf" star Colton Haynes are also newcomers to the show. Other known cast members, both old and new, include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Alison Pill and Adina Porter.
Not a lot is known about the plot of the upcoming season, though fan speculations have been rampant. It is also not unusual for Murphy and his team to keep a tight lid on details about "American Horror Story." It can be recalled that season 6's official title and theme was not revealed until its premiere.
"American Horror Story" season 7 will premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 5 on FX.
