Peters has been absent from the Murphy universe since Season One of Pose in 2018, in which he played a yuppie who works in Trump Tower. He last appeared on American Horror Story (Apocalypse Season 8) in 2018, when he played a variety of characters, including reprising his first AHS role, school shooter/ghost Tate. In a 2018 interview with GQ, it seemed Peters had perhaps stepped away from the AHS world, saying of his darker characters: “Yeah, I’m not doing it anymore. I just made a decision. I said to myself, ‘I can’t do it anymore.’ It’s not me. It’s not who I am!”
Meanwhile, Culkin appeared on the cover of Esquire this month to discuss acting and his career. “I enjoy acting. I enjoy being on set,” he said. “I don’t enjoy a lot of the other things that come around it. What’s a good analogy? The Shawshank Redemption. The way he gets out of prison is to crawl through a tube of shit, you know? It feels like to get to that kind of freedom, I’d have to crawl through a tube of shit. And you know what? I’ve built a really nice prison for myself. It’s soft. It’s sweet. It smells nice. You know? It’s plush.”
The ninth season of American Horror Story, 1984, was a campy look at Eighties slasher movies — emphasis on the camp (in that it took place at a summer camp). It starred regulars Emma Roberts, Billy Lourd, John Carroll Lynch, Leslie Grossman and Cody Fern as counselors.
