'American Horror Story' season 6 spoilers, premiere date: Plot split between 2 time periods
"American Horror Story: Hotel" may have just ended but there are already talks of what the sixth season will be about. According to a report from TVLine, John Landgraf of FX has confirmed at least one detail regarding season 6 during the recent Television Critics Association press event: its story will be told between two different time periods.
"It's set in two time periods but principally in the presen," he stated. He then stated that he could not tease anything further.
This will be the first time in the series that two different plotlines will run parallel each other in a single season of "American Horror Story," Season 1, "Horror House," made use of stories set in the past but they were flashbacks and not an entire story arc that plays out through numerous episodes.
The series is known for traversing through different time periods, however. As pointed in a report from Express, "American Horror Story" has been set in the 1950s, 1960s and the modern day. Not only that but recurring themes, locations and characters prove that each entry in the anthology series is faintly connected to each other.
Fans have since begun speculating that this means "American Horror Story" season 6 will see the return of several characters from previous seasons, either in the past or in the present timeline of the new season, to further connect the dots between each entry or to cause even more mystery and intrigue.
No official news has yet been announced regarding any of the cast returning for season 6 but it is now widely speculated that singer Lady Gaga will be returning after winning the Golden Globe award for Best Performance in a Mini-Series or Television Film.
According to the report, "American Horror Story" season 6 will begin production soon as it is expected to premiere by Fall of this year.
