'American Horror Stories' Full Cast List: Meet Kevin McHale and other stars of AHS spin-off series
Fear takes on a whole new form in the twisted new anthology series 'American Horror Stories' a spin-off of the hugely popular 'American Horror Story'. The format and the faces in 'American Horror Stories' may be different with 16 self-contained episodes, but there will be some important constants like show creator Ryan Murphy and 'American Horror Story' star Sarah Paulson who has confirmed that she has directed some of the episodes. While we're still not sure if we will see Paulson even if just for a guest appearance in the new series, who we will see for sure, are four young actors that Ryan Murphy has dubbed the 'fantastic four' of the series. Glee Star, Kevin McHale, 'Riverdale' actor Charles Melton, Dyllón Burnside from 'Pose', and Nico Greetham from 'The Prom' will star in 'American Horror Stories'. The details aren't forthcoming as yet on what characters they will play or what episodes they will feature in, but fans we're sure can't wait to find out.
Besides hoping to see Sarah Paulson in front of the camera, fans are hoping that they see other long-time collaborators with Murphy such as Jessica Lange in the new series in a cameo. But we will have to wait till July 15 to find out.
