The next and seventh season will be election themed in nature. As usual Ryan has not divulged a lot about what that means. But he did say that the season “is going to be about the election that we just went through, so I think that will be interesting for a lot of people.”
Lena and her arc will join regulars Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, as well as new recruits Colton Haynes, Leslie Grossman, and Billie Lourd.
