Taissa Farmiga and Finn Wittrock Return To American Horror Story Along With The Most Fucked Up AHS Character in The Series History
Written by Patti Pauley
We’re about halfway into what I’m pretty confident in stating, is the best American Horror Season since Murder House. And holy hell has Ryan Murphy taken us for a wild ride thus far! It really seems the fine folks who work over at AHS, stepped it up a notch this year as far as storytelling and suspense; not to mention the pretty sweet disembowelment.
But after episode five of My Roanoke Nightmare, where do we go from here? We finally got to see Evan Peters make his debut last week, much to the anticipation of fans everywhere; and as always never disappoints. The story seemed finalized in regards to the Paulson/Rabe and Gooding/Holland characters. So what in the world could be next? Murphy has been teasing us fans for the past few weeks that shit is going to hit the fan come episode six, and that’s just shy of 24 hours away ladies and gentlemen. In an interview with E! News, Murphy dropped the bomb that the show’s core cast will be switching roles into completely different characters come mid-season, so we definitely haven’t seen the last of Paulson, Bates, or Peters. He also confessed to not one, but TWO of AHS’ alumni are returning to Roanoke- Taissa Farmiga and Finn Wittrock!
Finn Wittrock, who played Dandy Mott in season four’s Freakshow, has already been directly connected as a descendant of Evan Peter’s character in Roanoke, Edward Phillipe Mott. Murphy teased that Wittrock is playing the “most fucked up character of all time.” Now, what can possibly top the sick and twisted mind of Dandy? No clue but Murphy went on to say that Wittrock himself stated, ‘This is so crazy that I don’t know that I can do it, but I’ll do it.’
Taissa Farmiga, the fan favorite who has been absent from the series since the remarkable season three of Coven, is finally back to slip on her horror heels and step into the Roanoke Nightmare! Although Murphy didn’t give any details into what character she will be portraying, I’m sure it’ll be one we will instantly fall in love with. Farmiga kind of has that effect on us.
Where do you think this season is headed now? What is the big twist? Is it going to turn into a found-footage type series from here on out? The trailer for episode six seems to possibly hint at that. Give us your thoughts below!

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
