With Comic-Con in full swing, the title for American Horror Story Season 8 has been revealed!

Displayed on new artwork for the eighth season that was shared on the show's official Twitter and Facebook pages, the title for the next season of American Horror Story is Apocalypse. The eighth season of the horror anthology series will premiere on FX on Wednesday, September 12th.

American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy recently tweeted that the eighth season will be a crossover between the first season's Murder House story and the third season's Coven theme. In that tweet, Murphy mentioned that "WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER", so it looks like we can expect more dark magic this fall.

We can also expect to see the return of familiar faces in season 8. As TV Guide mentions, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Adina Porter, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman, Emma Roberts, and Billie Lourd are all expected to come back for the eighth season, with some of them potentially reprising their roles from previous installments. Also joining the cast in season 8 will be Joan Collins.

We'll keep Daily Dead readers updated as more information is announced. In the meantime, check out the new artwork below and let us know what you hope to see in American Horror Story: Apocalypse.
