The 11th season of anthology horror series American Horror Story is subtitled NYC – yet with the season about to debut, we still know very little about what to expect from the plot.
An official logline for the season cryptically states: “Mysterious deaths and disappearances ramp up in the city. Meanwhile, a doctor makes a frightening discovery, and a local reporter becomes tomorrow’s headline.”
We don’t yet know whether Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will appear in the season, having appeared in the vast majority of American Horror Story instalments thus far. However, we do now know that the cast includes Zachary Quinto, Russell Tovey and Billie Lourd amongst others.
But who do they all play, who else is in the cast and what have they all been in before? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast for American Horror Story season 11.
