'Something Wicked This Way Comes' Promises Ryan Murphy about Ptown-based 'AHS" Season

"Something wicked this way comes," wrote Ryan Murphy on Instagram to accompany a pic of Leslie Grossman and Macaulay Culkin in fur coats posing on a beach in Provincetown, MA to promote the upcoming season of "American Horror Story." Grossman, a veteran of three "AHS" seasons, and Culkin, a newcomer to the hit franchise, joined Finn Wittrock and Lily Rabe in the LGBTQ resort where filming began last week for Season 10.

Little is known about the upcoming season of the FX hit except some hints that Murphy has made on social media. "Back in May 2020, Murphy posted a picture of another serene beachfront to his Instagram. He captioned the photo, 'American Horror Story. Clue,'" wrote Deadline. "In November the 'AHS' creator shared the official season 10 poster that featured mouth agape and full of razor-sharp teeth, with a tattoo pen seeming to have etched 'AHS10' onto the tongue. With the combination of razor-sharp teeth and the aquatic setting, it seems that season 10 may have some tones from 'Creature of the Black Lagoon' or 'Jaws'."

Last May Murphy described Culkin's role as ""a very, very great, insane part," reported Entertainment Weekly.

Murphy told ET that he always admired Culkin's work, including "the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did." He called the actor to make his pitch. "And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, 'This sounds like the role I was born to play.' So, he signed up right then and there."

And he hopes this will be the start of a longer collaboration. "I'm excited for him to be in my world because I think...I'm gonna want to do a lot of things with him if he wants to work, because I think he's fascinating and interesting, and I think he has a soul," Murphy continued. "There's both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I'm attracted to."

Also set to appear in the latest season are Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross and Finn Wittrock.

And joining the cast is actor Spencer Novich, whose is seen a short video clip shared by Murphy on Instagram where he shows his contortionist moves. "This is the audition that got him the job," Murphy wrote.
