The American Horror Story: Apocalypse crossover season is gearing up to be one of the best seasons yet–with all our favorites in tow.

American Horror Story will be back in our lives very shortly and this time around we are getting a full-blown crossover season, and honestly, it’s all so exciting. Earlier this week, it was announced that some fan favorites will return for season 8 including Lily Rabe, Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, Stevie Nicks, and Frances Conroy.

This announcement comes on the heel of the one that preceded it stating that Jessica Lange would also be returning for this season. It’s going to be one epic season, and the only thing that would round it out in perfection is the return of Connie Britton.

Creator Ryan Murphy took to Twitter to make the latest announcement which has fans reeling with excitement and anticipation for what we hope will be an epic eighth season.

Along with the above, other previously confirmed cast members include Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Cody Fern, Adina Porter, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, as well as Joan Collins.

The latest teaser, released earlier this week gave us a glimpse into what we can expect for season 8. Images of nukes, a fetus, scorpions, a skull, and a dark black beating heart are just some of the things that were seen in the trailer, and it has us wondering, what the hell is this season going to be about?

As the trailer seems to indicate, this season of American Horror Story alludes to the end of the world for this season–are you freaking out yet?
