American Horror Story Season 6 continues to be one big mystery, but there are several actors confirmed for the upcoming anthology. While reports indicate that the overall cast may be smaller than what has been seen in previous seasons, there are still many AHS alumni who have not confirmed their involvement in Season 6. AHS is known for short lived cameos so it won’t be surprising if actors are included for just a few episodes but aren’t a part of the main cast. Currently, there is no word on whether new actors will debut in American Horror Story Season 6. Here’s a rundown of actors who could possibly make an appearance on Season 6.
