Why is this character so pivotal, you ask? Well, that’s because he’s the son of Evan Peters’ Tate from Murder House. But not just a slightly evil presence in the show, Michael is actually the Anti-Christ!
Fern joins a cast that includes Peters, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Adina Porter, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, and Joan Collins, with returns teased for both Taissa Farmiga and Emma Roberts.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse is set to premiere on September 12th.
