It’s taken us inside a coven, a freak show, an insane asylum and, of course, a good old-fashioned murder house and more. “American Horror Story” has given viewers a major case of the willies for six seasons, and a seventh is just around the corner. As always, details of the upcoming installment of the horror anthology have been kept to a minimum in the lead-up to the premiere, and fans of the series are eager to see what “Cult,” as the new season is subtitled, has to offer. Don’t miss the debut of “American Horror Story: Cult,” when it airs Tuesday, Sept. 5, on FX.
As an anthology series, “American Horror Story” explores a different theme every season. It welcomes back many of the same cast members from
year to year, but, for the most part, they play different characters in a different time and setting. There has been the odd overlap, subtly connecting one season to another: Pepper (Naomi Grossman, “Fear, Inc.” 2016) and Sister Mary Eunice (Lily Rabe, “The Whispers”), for instance, appeared in both “Asylum” and “Freak Show,” while series mainstay Sarah Paulson (“12 Years a Slave,” 2013) has reprised the characters of both Billie Dean Howard and Lana Winters in multiple seasons (“Murder House” and “Hotel,” and “Asylum” and “Roanoke,” respectively), along
the first season in which series regular Rabe will
with the show from the start. Fans were quick to voice their disappointment last season about how little they saw of Peters, an enduring favorite with viewers (he played two different characters, and between them, he still only appeared in four episodes). Peters fans can rest easy this season, though — creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy tweeted that in “Cult,” “More Evan you will get. This is his heaviest season yet.” This alone is more information than we can typically expect to get from Murphy, who is known for keeping “American Horror Story” details close to the vest prior to air time. Last season’s theme, title and cast were a mystery right up until the premiere, but showrunners have been more forthcoming — if characteristically cryptic — this time around.
We do know that it’s set in modern-day Michigan, has some connection to “Freak Show” and, most importantly, uses the 2016 election as a jumping-off point. This is worth taking note of, since no previous installment has been particularly timely or topical — and the setting is surely very deliberate, with Michigan, historically a blue state, having been quite divided during the election.
Murphy clarified this in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, confirming that this season will be all about “highlighting people who don’t have a voice in our culture — people who are ignored by the current administration and who are afraid and feel terrorized that their lives are going to be taken away.”
The show has been unlocking weekly hints via an interactive
Conan
website , AHSCult.com, which allows viewers to sign up and “join” the cult, complete with their own identification number. Promo videos are rife with some of the creepiest clowns you’ll ever care to see (painted in red and blue makeup, making use of subtle election imagery), and Murphy has hinted that “Freak Show’s” Twisty (John Carroll Lynch, “The Drew Carey Show”), “AHS’s” OG creepy clown, will be making an appearance this season. A number of other familiar faces appear in “Cult” as well. Adina Porter (“True Blood”), Emma Roberts (“Scream Queens”), Frances Conroy (“Six Feet Under”) and Cheyenne Jackson (“30 Rock”) are among the cast members confirmed to return this season, while Oscar winner Kathy Bates (“Misery,” 1990), who joined the cast in season 3’s “Coven,” and music superstar Lady Gaga, who appeared in the last two seasons, will officially not be returning this year due to scheduling conflicts. Several other “AHS” stalwarts are unconfirmed as of press time, including Denis O’Hare (“Dallas Buyers Club,” 2013) and Angela Bassett (“Malcolm X,” 1992), making it unlikely that they’ll have major parts this season, if they appear at all.
Fortunately, “Cult” welcomes a number of fresh faces to fill the void left by the dearly departed. Alison Pill (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” 2010) joins the cast as Ivy Mayfair-Richards, the wife of Paulson’s character, and comedian Billy Eichner (“Billy on the Street”) plays a character named Harrison Wilton. Past Murphy collaborators Billie Lourd (“Scream Queens”) and Leslie Grossman (“Popular”) join the show this season, and “Girls” star Lena Dunham is set to appear in at least one episode.
It’s certainly more information that fans are used to getting before a new season of “AHS” touches down. Executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall even complied when pushed for more details at a Television Critics Association panel, divulging: “bloody tension, a wellcooked meal, an exciting trip to a grocery story. It is true to our brand, which is you are going to be in a whole new world all over again, and fall in love with these really special characters and hate yourself for watching it before you go to bed.”
All will be made clear — to a point — when “American Horror Story: Cult” premieres Tuesday, Sept. 5, on FX.

Tonight was the finale of “The Bachelorette.” Millions of people tuned in to the finale to see who Rachel would spend the rest of her summer with.
Jimmy Kimmel Live
President Trump is currently on a 17-day vacation at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J. ... Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is also on vacation. Kind of suspicious that they’re both gone at the same time. It’s like when your husband and his secretary go on a work trip together.
Fox News host Eric Bolling has been suspended following reports that he sent lewd photos to multiple female coworkers. Or as Fox News is reporting it: “Did Hillary frame Eric Bolling?”
According to reports, officials at the Department of Agriculture told staffers to avoid the term “climate change” in their research, and to use terms like “weather extremes” instead. And instead of earthquakes, they’re now called, “li’l shakeroos.”

Even pro chefs need to shop for groceries. They’re no strangers to the produce section or the express lane of the local supermarket, but do they have what it takes to make it through Flavortown Market?
That’s the question that “Guy’s Grocery Games: Superstars” tries to answer. The very special tournament has assembled some top-tier culinary talent — most of whom should look familiar — to face off in a very special competition overseen by the always-energetic Guy Fieri. The tournament is already well under way, with two chefs eliminated — but that leaves six still standing in the new episode airing Sunday, Sept. 3, on Food Network. For
their first challenge in Guy’s very special supermarket, the chefs are all given identical shopping lists to cook with. Once their shopping is done, they pair up in head-to-head culinary battles, with the losers of each of the duels heading into Guy’s Redemption Round.
After the bottom three attempt to turn a tiramisu’s ingredients into a tasty entrée, one of them is sent home, leaving only five chefs standing for next week’s semifinals.
But just who are the chefs who are competing, anyways? They’re pretty much a who’s who of Food Network’s top talent. Iron Chef and regular “Chopped” judge Alex Guarnaschelli, frequent “Cutthroat Kitchen” judge Jet Tila, “Food Network Star” winners Damaris Phillips and Justin Warner, “Chopped” judg-
es Maneet Chauhan and Marc Murphy, and Bravo’s “Top Chef: All Stars” winner Richard Blais all compete, along with frequent Food Network judge and guest star Eric Greenspan.
By the time the finale rolls around, airing Sunday, Sept. 17, their numbers will have been whittled down to just four. Naturally, Guy Fieri won’t be taking it easy on them; he has some of his most dia-
bolical supermarket-based challenges ever in store. For these chefs, though, the challenge is worth it: the ultimate winner earns $40,000 for a charity of his or her choice, not to mention the bragging rights that come with beating out some of the most competitive chefs on television.
New episodes of “Guy’s Grocery Games: Superstars” air Sunday evenings on Food Network.

A decade after they became besties in college, four women reunite for a weekend of fun before Jess’s (Johansson) wedding. The four head to Miami where, after a night of partying, they hire a stripper to visit them in the Miami house they’ve rented for the weekend. When Jess’s friend Alice (Bell) causes an accident that kills the man, the friends panic and set off a chain of events that not only causes it to be the most insane night any of them has ever had, but also might land them all in prison.
The lives of 30-somethings Anna (Lister-Jones) and Ben (Pally) seem to have reached a dead end and their marriage is suffering. During one of their profanity-laden arguments, they strike upon an idea: why not start a band and turn their arguments into songs? With their weird neighbor, Dave (Armisen), joining in as their drummer, the couple puts the idea in motion, using music as a vessel for their frustrations with each other as they dig down to discover how they can fix their struggling marriage.
