American Horror Stories trailer allows Rubber(wo)Man to introduce herself

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

The first two episodes of the American Horror Story spin-off American Horror Stories are now available to watch on the Hulu streaming service, and a trailer has been released – check it out in the embed above – that allows the star of those two episodes to introduce herself. She is Rubber(wo)Man, a new version of the Rubber Man character from the first season of American Horror Story.

It was said that American Horror Stories will consist of standalone episodes that each tell a contained story, but they already broke that rule by taking two episodes to tell the show's first story. But the point is, this show isn't going to tell one story each season like American Horror Story does, this one is going to tell several stories each season. Thus the different title.

The cast assembled for the seven episode first season of American Horror Stories includes a mix of American Horror Story veterans with actors who are new to the franchise: Matt Bomer, Taissa Farmiga, Naomi Grossman, Billie Lourd, Danny Trejo, Kevin McHale, Madison Bailey, Sierra McCormick, Paris Jackson, Gavin Creel, Ashley Martin Carter, Belissa Escobedo, Aaron Tveit, Rhenzy Feliz, Kyle Red Silverstein, Amy Grabow, Kaia Gerber, John Carroll Lynch, Dane DiLiegro, Merrin Dungey, Chad James Buchanan, Ben J. Pierce, Ronen Rubinstein, Michael B. Silver, Dyllon Burnside, Nico Greetham, Charles Melton, Virginia Gardner, and Evan Peters (who seems to be reprising the American Horror Story role of Tate Langdon).

American Horror Story regular Sarah Paulson is believed to have directed an episode of American Horror Stories. The series was created by American Horror Story co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Murphy and Falchuk serve as executive producers alongside Loni Peristere, Manny Coto, Alexis Martin Woodall, and John J. Gray. Tanase Popa is co-executive producer.

Murphy and Falchuk wrote the first Rubber(wo)Man episode together, while Falchuk went solo on the second one. Both episodes were directed by Peristere, who has directed nine episodes of American Horror Story over the years.
