Billy Eichner To Play A 'Heavily Recurring' Role In 'American Horror Story' Season 7

For a dollar, why are we so excited for American Horror Story Season 7?

Oh, because the upcoming election-themed season of the horror anthology has added Billy Eichner to its cast of beloved regulars, Deadline reports .

The Billy on the Street host and Difficult People star will have a heavily recurring role and appear in most episodes alongside Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, per Deadline. Wearing mysterious tank tops, Eichner will reportedly act as a close confidant of Paulsons character.

While tidbits about Season 7 continue to leak out, it seems AHS fans may be doomed to wait for its season premiere for substantial details, once again.

But unlike Season 6, which was closely guarded until its premiere last fall, at least we have a rough idea of what to expect from new episodes.
