Ryan Murphy divulged a lot of secrets about ‘American Horror Story’ season 6 as well as what is coming in the future…
The sixth episode of ‘American Horror Story: Roanoke’ that debuts on Wednesday night at 10pm ET on FX will feature a huge twist that changes the show dramatically from what’s been happening thus far this season.
The first five episodes showcased a “true life re-telling” of a horrible series of hauntings that befell Matt and Shelby Miller after they bought a house in a secluded section of North Carolina. The last episode ended with the Miller family getting away and the conclusion of their on camera tale about this terrifying incident.
Now as episode six picks up, ‘American Horror Story’ will shift gears with many of the actors on the show including Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jr. playing completely different characters from the ones they have been portraying up to this point in season six.
“The season was sort of written as if the season was two different shows,” ‘American Horror Story’ creator Ryan Murphy explained on Tuesday. “Something happens where half the cast is revealed to be playing and doing something absolutely different than you’ve seen in the first five.
“There’s a startling announcement at the end of act 3 that resets the rest of the season up until episode 10.”
Speculation has been that Cheyenne Jackson’s character will be the director behind the real life documentary telling the story behind “My Roanoke Nightmare” and that he will revisit the infamous haunted house from the first five episodes. Considering that everything we’ve seen thus far — including the portrayal of characters like ‘The Butcher’ — have all been fictional accounts of the real events that unfolded. Perhaps we’ll now get to meet the real Butcher?
The new episode on Wednesday night will reveal the twist so stay tuned for that.
