Ryan Murphy confirmed that the season will be connected to Freak Show ; but will be set in modern day. In February 2017, on Watch What Happens Live, Murphy announced that the season would revolve around the 2016 U.S. election and suggested that it may feature a character based on President Donald Trump. Murphy has said that the season will be representative of both sides of the political divide. He also said that he will be `` illuminating and highlighting '' groups of people he believes to be `` ignored by the current ( Trump ) administration and who are afraid and feel terrorized that their lives are going to be taken away. '' It was later confirmed that the season would be set in the aftermath of the presidential election, with the first episode taking place on election night. Murphy explained it will be about `` the fallout of that night, which to many people, from all sides of the camps is a horror story. '' He also revealed the season will not feature Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, stating `` Horror Story is always about allegory, so the election is allegory. '' In April 2017, Murphy confirmed that archive footage of the election night is going to be used in the season premiere. Murphy revealed via Twitter that the details of the seventh season, including the title, would be revealed on July 20. He also teased that the opening sequence of the series would return in this season, following its absence in Roanoke. On July 20, 2017, it was announced at the San Diego Comic - Con that the title of the season would be Cult. Murphy also revealed it would be set in Michigan, and confirmed it would consist of a total of 11 episodes, premiering on September 5, 2017. For the first time, the series will not air on Wednesdays but rather on Tuesdays. On August 3, 2017, online posters revealed the names of multiple characters of the season. On August 21, 2017, the opening title sequence of the season was revealed, following its absence in the previous season. That same month, Murphy confirmed that, contrary to the past seasons, Cult would not feature supernatural elements. Casting During the Winter 2017 TCA Press Tour, series mainstays Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters were reported to be starring as the leads in the season. In March 2017, Billy on the Street host Billy Eichner was announced to be cast in the series, playing a role in the life of Paulson 's character. His character is slated for appearing in `` six or seven '' episodes. The next month, it was reported that Scream Queens alum Billie Lourd will also star in the seventh installment of the series. In May 2017, Leslie Grossman, who starred in Murphy 's series Popular, joined the cast of the series, and Angela Bassett hinted she may return in a recurring role. Later that month, it was confirmed via set pictures that Adina Porter and Cheyenne Jackson were also returning. In June 2017, Murphy confirmed via his Instagram account that Colton Haynes, whom Murphy worked with previously on second season of Scream Queens, was joining the casting for the seventh season. Later that month, set pictures revealed that Alison Pill was joining the cast of the season, seemingly portraying the partner of Sarah Paulson 's character. In July 2017, Murphy revealed via his Twitter account that Lena Dunham was joining the season. She is set to play Valerie Solanas, author of the SCUM Manifesto and attempted murder of Andy Warhol, via flashbacks. Murphy also confirmed the returns of Frances Conroy and Mare Winningham.

Gray confirmed the show started filming. Edits On October 7, 2017, it was confirmed that the sixth episode of the season would be edited as a direct result of the 2017 Las Vegas Strip shooting that occurred on October 1, 2017. The episode originally featured a scene lasting 2 minutes and 16 seconds where Leslie Grossman 's character Meadow Wilton begins to fire at Evan Peters ' character, as well as a crowd, during a campaign speech. The episode was edited to de-emphasize the violence and to mostly have it featured completely off - screen - as a result the opening sequence of the episode was cut in half, several on - screen deaths were removed and two separate close - up shots of the handgun firing were removed.
