'American Horror Story' season 7 cast updates: Key 'Roanoke' character confirms return to AHS

"AHS" returns to FX in the fall 2017

“American Horror Story: Roanoke” was memorable for a lot of reasons. One thing that viewers could never forget was the twist that turned everything upside-down in the end.

Ryan Murphy has his unique way of finding out what fans want, even if they don’t know they want it yet. While he recycles elements from previous seasons, he makes sure all viewers will see are those they will remember for the right reasons. This is why although the later instalments of “American Horror Story” features repeated content, viewers are still eager for what they are about to witness.

For this upcoming season, Bloody Disgusting confirms that Cheyenne Jackson, who was instrumental in “American Horror Story: Roanoke’s” twist, will be back for season 7. His return to the franchise has been the subject of numerous rumours, but it was not until the paparazzi caught the 41-year-old actor with co-star Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters that these were confirmed, notes JustJared.

While he may largely be remembered for his contribution to the “American Horror Story: Roanoke” twist, Cheyenne is actually no stranger to Ryan Murphy's projects. He played the role of Will Drake in “Hotel” and Sidney James in “Roanoke.” He also previously worked with Murphy in three episodes of “Glee.”

As of now, it is not yet clear what Jackson’s role will be, but it has been revealed earlier that the new season will tackle the 2016 presidential elections. Some cryptic clues have been dropped, but anticipating fans are still clueless on what to expect for season 7.

Regardless of how Murphy will paint the elections in signature “American Horror Story” fashion, it is certain that Cheyenne Jackson is an actor the creator can count on. Especially in delivering a chilling performance in the same manner that the twist of “American Horror Story: Roanoke” was revealed. While previous seasons of AHS were secretive pending their premieres, the show has been gracious with a lot of hints this time.

Despite all, fans can expect to be chilled to the bone when next season comes out. How viewers will respond to the politics remains to be seen, when “American Horror Story” returns to FX in the US in fall 2017. In Australia, the show airs on Channel Eleven.
