'American Horror Story' Season 7 Spoilers: 'Cult' Will Be About the Paranoia of Trump Administration
It is no secret that the upcoming "American Horror Story" installment, titled "Cult," is inspired from the 2016 elections. But up until executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall explained the details, fans had no idea how it will play out.
Speaking to attendees of the 2017 Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour, the exec teased that "Cult" will not be about the election per se but about its repercussions.
"I think it's more about what's going on in the world around us — and we talk about the streak of paranoia — I think that there's a lot of ideas that launch from that point," said Woodall of the season 7 theme. "It's not what you think it is, and I'm not trying to be cagey... It's an element in our launch point."
