Elsewhere, American Horror Story mastermind Ryan Murphy unveiled a mysterious new series titled Grotesquerie on social media this week.

A teaser trailer announced its cast of Niecy Nash-Betts (Scream Queens), Courtney B. Vance (Lovecraft Country) and Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread).

Communicated through some sort of old-school radio, Nash-Betts' character can be heard saying: "I don't know when it started, I can't put my finger on it, but it's different now. There's been a shift, like something's opening up in the world – a kind of hole to descend to a nothingness.

"What I saw today? They sent shrinks to everyone who worked at the crime scene. You say, 'Well, hon, evil has always existed,' that, 'Things are getting better, there's never been a better time to be alive!' but it's not getting better! Something's happening around us and nobody sees it but me".

American Horror Story airs on FX in the US and Disney+ in the UK, where seasons 1-9 are also available to buy on Prime Video.
