ooooooooot that surprising. This show is a mess and she is too talented for this nonsense.

I hope we get to see Angela Bassett this season too, but I do like that they seem to be using more new actors in the show. It might freshen things up a bit.

It’s such a shame Matt Bomer couldn’t be part of the season. I’d love to see him on the show again. Hopefully we will since it’s renewed for two more seasons.

We need Matt Bomer. Hes awesome. Any news of his return ??

I watched his interview on Andy Cohen Watch What Happens Live. He said he’s not appearing in Cult, but he will be directing an episode of American Crime Story: Versace. Hopefully he’ll appear in future seasons of AHS.

it wont be the same without bates omg now its already bumbing me out ugh

I’ll definitely miss Kathy. I think she’s been a great addition to the show. I do plan on checking out her new Netflix series though. Hopefully she has time to come back for season 8.

Kathy Bates will be greatly missed. A well loved actress. Hurry up back to ahs. It won’t be the same without you

I love Kathy Bates rolls on AHS and will miss her this season.All the more reason to sign her in a bigger role for the next season of AHS. I love the recasting of the actor’s ,as well as seeing who is new.

Maybe the smartest career move ever. An actress of her abilities should have packed her bags after the travesty of HOTEL…

I’m an AHS fan, but it’s glory days seem to be done. Ready for Sissy Spacek in the new Stephen King series CASTLE ROCK.
