American Horror Story isnt dying 🙄

 

Apocalypse, the last season, is certified fresh. It's been a consistent show, for the most part, and even the set backs (I'm looking at you Freakshow) have been better than a lot of what's on TV. Also, like stated above, the streaming numbers were great. That's the world we live in now. No one has to be home by 9 or 10 to watch it anymore. We watch it at our convenience.

 

I saw an article saying that it's clear the show is dying because Sarah Paulson isnt going to be a main character and possibly not returning. I think we have grown accustomed to Sarah Paulson being the main character for so long now, that the thought of her not being in it, or a main character seems so shocking. However, if you look back on the first season, she was a background character. It's a part of what makes the show so great. You are able to change out these (mostly) amazing actors and actresses, put them in different roles and dynamics. Watch them play off of each other in different ways each season.

 

 I'm excited for 1984, even if I dont know much about it. 80s slasher is my ****, and Emma Roberts as a potential final girl is getting me there. There are now rumors going around that it could be very heavily related to Asylum, which I would infer means that it could be Oliver Thredson and Lana Winters psychopathic child going on his first murder spree. Sarah is supposed to be a small role, she could very well return as Lana Banana for a few episodes, coming to realize who this killer might be, which only further explains why she is so aware of him at the end of Asylum, think Gale Weathers on a smaller scale.

I think it could be VERY horror centric, but there is always a little camp in the 80s slasher genre. I'm expecting a full blown Friday the 13th season, and that's exactly what the character tests remind me of. I'm hoping that its gonna be a small cast, like they have shown. I think that's what helped make the earlier seasons so great. 

I dont think its gonna be as heavy or dark as some of the better seasons, but it looks very entertaining.

Just my opinion but Sarah Paulson is overrated as hell as an actress.

 

I care a lot more about Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe and Frances Conroy appearing.

I'm not worried at all about Sarah not being there. We are 9 seasons in now. We can't stick with the same cast forever :shrug:

I just can't understand people stanning for an anthology show and being upset when they decide to change direction or casting from one season to the other. It's quite paradoxal imo.

I'm actually glad they are bringing a new wave of new faces this year. It should have done years ago imo.

I would live for Lily Rabe returning. Her performance in Asylum was one of the best I've seen.

People don't understand. The general public is a little...dumb

I’m also kinda tired of Sarah as the lead  since season 7, but I wouldn’t mind her in a side role.

I wonder if there'll be some political undertones and references to the book 1984 (like big brother and other stuff).
