American Horror Story: Double Feature

As usual, details about Ryan Murphy’s latest season of this hit horror anthology series are cloaked in secrecy, but as the title suggests, “Double Feature” will comprise two separate stories — “One by the sea, one by the sand” — that unfold as a split season. AHS alumni returning for the first part include Finn Wittrock, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Denis O’Hare and Adina Porter. Casting for the second part is still underway.

Archer

For many Archer fans, the big question is whether beloved actress Jessica Walter — who died in March at age 80 — is part of season 12. Happily, since Walter adored her hilarious animated role as self-absorbed Malory Archer, she reportedly worked on these new episodes right up until the end, so she definitely will be present to some degree. In the world of the show, Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) and his colleagues face competition from International Intelligence Agency, a faceless new spy conglomerate.
