The creator of American Horror Story revealed new information for Season 10.
Ryan Murphy revealed on Twitter that Season 10 will feature contortionist Spencer Novich, and shared the actor's creepy audition video, as reported by Bloody Disgusting.
The clip shows Novich twisting and folding his body into positions that don't seem like they should be possible as he inches closer to the camera and whispers, "I'm gonna kill you."
Murphy included the caption, "Congrats to @SpencerNovich, who is joining the cast of this season's American Horror Story. This is the audition that got him the job. Guess the title yet?"
Information about Novich joining the cast came a week after Murphy dropped a new Season 10 poster. The poster depicted an open mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, with a tattoo pen having inked "AHS 10" on its tongue. While details about the new season are scarce, guesses about the theme range from aliens to a creature from the black lagoon to a global pandemic. Murphy admitted in May that the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) might lead to a change in the season's planned theme.
"A lot of what I was going to shoot was dependent on a very specific moment, it was a weather-dependent show," Murphy explained at the time. "I don’t know if I’ll accelerate another season or wait till next year to shoot this one."
The cast for Season 10 of American Horror Story includes series alums Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Finn Wittrock, Lily Rabe, Leslie Grossman, Adina Porter and Angelica Ross. Macaulay Culkin will also be joining the AHS cast. FX has yet to confirm a date for the show's return, but due to the delayed production, the new season is expected to air in 2021. It was also announced at the Television Critics Association panel earlier this year that American Horror Story was renewed for three more seasons after its upcoming Season 10.
American Horror Stories -- Murphy's upcoming anthology series that serves as an AHS spin-off -- is also set to premiere exclusively on FX on Hulu in 2021. Murphy is also currently developing a limited series called Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story for Netflix, which will tell the story from a victim's point of view. The series -- which is part of Murphy's five-year, $300 million deal with the streaming service -- will star Richard Jenkins.
