Get ready to head back to the 80’s with the next binge watch TV series…no we’re not talking Stranger things, we’re talking American Horror Story!
The next season is going to be very familiar for fans of 80’s slasher films, with the title “AHS: 1984”!
From Uproxx:
The announcement was made on Instagram, where Murphy posted a creepy video showing a woman running away from a knife-wielding killer in the woods. She hides in a barn only for the knife to penetrate the wooden door — then, “AHS 1984.” The teaser is reminiscent of the slasher films of the 1980s, including 1980’s Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, which was released in… 1984. Murphy must be saving the Revenge of the Nerds homage.
Little else is known about season nine, other than Emma Roberts is expected to return “and that her [character’s] boyfriend will be played by franchise newcomer and Olympic freestyle skier and silver medalist Gus Kenworthy.” Also, Evan Peters is sitting the season out for the first time. 1984, which joins previous installments Murder House, Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, Roanoke, Cult, and Apocalypse, will premiere later this year.
