On the eve of American Horror Story: Apocalypse [1], FX finally gave us a good hard look at the major players of the season. Truth be told, we'd already seen the characters in action when the full trailer [2] dropped, but now we get to really study the strange new additions. Naturally, promotional material has seriously ramped up in the past month leading up to the premiere. In addition to the unsettling posters [3] and spine-tingling teasers [4], we've also recently been treated to a hint at the series connections to come [5]. And now, behold! Our merry cast of postapocalyptic survivors!
