On the February 15 episode of Watch What Happens Live, director and producer, Ryan Murphy, revealed that the next installment of American Horror Story will be based off of the recent 2016 presidential election.

“Well, I don’t have a title, but the season that we begin shooting in June is going to be about the election that we just went through. So I think that will be interesting for a lot of people,” the creator told WWHL host Andy Cohen.

He was then asked if President Trump will be portrayed in the upcoming season, but Murphy was unable to give any specific details.

“There are only three people who know what season 7 is about. Dana Walden, John Landgraf and Sarah Paulson,” Murphy said during a TCA session last month.

On the bright side, American Horror Story veterans Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters will be returning for the new season. Thankfully this will not be the strange crossover of Murder House and Coven, we were promised in the fall. That season and story has been pushed to a later date.

“But we are going to do a season that’s a crossover between Murder House and Coven together, which is very bizarre,” says Murphy.

During the TCA press tour last month, FX chief John Landgraf promised that Murphy had, “hit on yet another really innovative idea. There’s a marketing and promotional hook around that.”

Back in October, when Trump was still something of an underdog, Murphy promised, “You’ll really see it after this season. We lay a lot of pipe, and you’ll see it explode in Seasons 7 and 8.” Did he have this plan in mind way back then?

It’s possible Murphy was forced to tip his hand earlier than he wanted to due to the news Tuesday that Mark Boal and Megan Ellison are collaborating on an upcoming 8 hour “political drama” focusing on the 2016 election. If he had kept the Season 7 theme a secret much longer, Murphy ran the risk of looking like he was copying the collaborators.
