According toTMZ, Jackson will appear in at least one episode in the next season which has been dubbedAmerican Horror Story: Double Feature. Series creator Ryan Murphy says this is because the new season will feature two horror stories in one season for the first time.

It has previously been announced that Culkin will be featured in the tenth season ofAHS, and a first look photo has revealed the actor on set. As a former child star, Culkin was close friends with Paris’s father, world-famous singer Michael Jackson, with the two starring in a famous Pepsi commercial together.
However, it doesn’t look likeParis Jacksonand Macauley Culkin will be sharing any screen time. Season 10 is basically consisting of two separate mini-seasons with theDouble Featuregimmick, and Jackson will reportedly be featured in the second mini-season. Culkin is a part of the cast of the first story, one that’s “set by the sea,” and the rest of the cast for Jackson’s story has yet to be revealed. More names are expected to be announced soon for the second story, which is set “by the sand.”
Along with Culkin, other cast members for the series in the first story include Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates. Other names confirmed for the new season include Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Evan Peters, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross, and Finn Wittrock. In February, Murphy also revealed that Frances Conroy will be returning for season 10.
