Freak show performers and parasitic vampires: that's what FX is brining to the San Diego Comic-Con. Though they haven't done one for any of their previous three seasons, American Horror Story is making Freak Show, the next chapter in the series, extra special by showcasing it in their SDCC panel debut, joining fellow FX show The Strain in the network's Comic-Con lineup.
FX announced (via Collider) that their Comic-Con schedule includes panels for American Horror Story and The Strain. Mixing old and new elements, the AHS panel on July 26th will look back on AHS: Coven and also include a sneak peek of the upcoming AHS: Freak Show, followed by a Q&A with executive producer Tim Minear and a host of cast members. On the following day, The Strain panel will feature a screening of the show's entire third episode with a subsequent Q&A that will include creator/author Guillermo del Toro and the entire cast. We have full details on both panels below:
