The World As We Know It Ends In The Premiere Of AHS: Apocalypse

Last night “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” premiered. We watched as phones and news channels sent out missile warnings, that we were on the cusp of the end of the world as we know it. Luckily, an Instagram influencer scored four spots in a survival shelter thanks to her father. She along with her assistant, flamboyant hairdresser played by returning cast member Evan Peters, and his grandmother Joan Collins boarded a private plane destined for Outpost 3. Two other survivors were picked up by the same mysterious group, known as The Cooperative, handpicked because of their DNA.
