In his ever-so-subtle way, "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy revealed some new castings for the upcoming 10th season of the FX anthology series Wednesday on Instagram.

Murphy announced Macaulay Culkin among the new cast members for season 10. He joins Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, who are returning for season 10 after missing the 9th installment, along with Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross and Finn Wittrock.

“Well I don’t know, because a lot of what I was going to shoot was dependent on a very specific moment, it was a weather-dependent show,” Murphy recently told The Wrap, emphasizing that Season 10 was written to be filmed during the warmer months. “So now I don’t know. I don’t know what we’re going to do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do next with that show. I don’t know if I’ll accelerate another season or wait till next year to shoot this one.”

Murphy tells E! News how Culkin ended up getting cast on Season 10. "I loved everything that he's done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn't worked in a while," says Murphy, adding: "So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK. (When) I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, 'OK, here's the pitch.' And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, 'This sounds like the role I was born to play.' So, he signed up right then and there." Murphy adds that he can't wait till the coronavirus shutdown is over so he can work with Culkin. "There's both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I'm attracted to," he says.
