Sarah Paulson is currently in production on American Crime Story: Impeachment, which she is executive producing and acting in, taking on the role of Linda Tripp – and soon she'll be working on the tenth season of American Horror Story at the same time, as she's going to be reporting to the set of that show "any day now". Entertainment Tonight talked to Paulson about her Golden Globe nomination for Ratched yesterday, and during their conversation the topic of American Horror Story season 10 came up. Paulson couldn't directly discuss her character, but she did offer some teases:
The character I'm playing this year on Horror Story has some issues, let's just put it that way. I have a hair color I've never had in life nor in the show. That's what I can tell you. And I have a great name. I have a great name, which I can't tell you."

Paulson will be wearing wigs to play both Linda Tripp and her AHS character.
One of them I prefer over the other because one is just cooler and the other one makes me look like Linda Tripp. That's the thing. It's just a different experience."
Paulson has been in every season of American Horror Story except season 9; she asked to be left out of that one so she could focus on other projects. She's being joined in the cast of season 10 by Macaulay Culkin, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross, and Finn Wittrock.
American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has said that Culkin will be playing an "insane part" that involves having "crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates".
The theme of season 10 hasn't been revealed yet, but Murphy has given hints that involve beaches and human-like mouths full of sharp teeth, leading many to believe that we're going to be seeing some killer mermaid action when this season starts airing on FX later in 2021.
