 American Horror Story double feature is finally coming to our screens in about a week and a half and FX has just released the full trailer for part one of the season which has the subtitle of Red Tide. Like usual details about this season of AHS have been very secretive and even with the new light that the trailer does shed on it there's still a lot we don't know about these chilling occurrences in Provincetown. So today I'm going to dissect and squeeze out all of the info that I can get from this trailer but before I do let me take this moment to recognize my channel members. As always thank you guys so much for your support and for making these videos possible it means the world to me. Alright let's just jump into the breakdown. The trailer begins. The trailer begins and we are introduced to Harry played by Finn Wittrock, Doris played by Lily Raib and their daughter who is rumored to be named Alma played by Ryan Keira Armstrong. This character has had a lot of rumored names over the past few months so take Alma with a grain of salt. Doris is very pregnant and they say that they have just moved to Provincetown. Harry is a writer and one of the reasons for the move seems to be that Harry is experiencing writer's block. We then see Harry befriending Austin played by Evan Peters, the chemist played by Angelica Ross and Francis Conroy's character who is rumored to be named Belle. But take that name with a grain of salt as well. These three assure Harry that they have a solution to Harry's writer's block and we find out that Austin is also a writer. They then raised their glasses leading me to think that the solution to the problem may be a secret ingredient in these cocktails. But more on that later. Harry is then shown filling up his previously blank word document so it seems as though whatever Austin, Belle and the chemist did worked. Side note, we can also confirm that this portion of the season does take place in the present day as Harry is using a recent iPhone model and a recent computer. Then we see a shot of a character who I'm assuming is Alma but we only see the back of her so who knows. But she is crying over a tombstone that says Brandon Newman, deceased on the 10th of January 1775, a fine soldier aged 26 years. A brief Google search didn't find any exact matches for this name in that time period so this doesn't seem to be any reference to a real soldier as far as I can tell. However, I do think this may be a hint towards a subplot taking place in or around the time of the Revolutionary War but who knows what connection Alma may have with the fallen soldier but I'm intrigued. Next we get our first look at McCully Colkin's character who is rumored to go by the name Mickey. Ursula, played by Leslie Grossman, is shown expressing some vague suspicions about the town to Mickey. We already assumed that these two characters were linked based on a photo that Ryan shared on social media earlier this year and this is further confirmation that Ursula and Mickey are working together. Belle says there is nothing more addictive than success. You've tasted it now and you're never going to live without it. Presumably she is saying this to Harry although we don't know that for sure. We then see Doris cutting her finger while she is chopping up some vegetables and the sight of her blood definitely seems to ignite something in Harry. That shot is followed by Belle and Austin in the front seat of a car pointing a gun at Harry who is in the back seat. It seems like Harry may be in over his head getting involved with the Provincetown locals and there is definitely an organized crime vibe coming from Belle and Austin. Next we see the chemist in her laboratory where she crafts a black capsule just like the ones we previously saw in the teaser for the season. These pills are also featured in some posters we've gotten for double feature and she seems to be making quite a lot of these black pills. We then see Sarah Paulson as TB Karen reacting in fear to something off-screen followed by a shot of Harry looking a bit deranged as he manically types away at his computer. Doris says we are not safe here and descends the staircase with a knife in hand. We then see one of the creatures who may or may not be sirens breaking through a window. This is intercut with shots of Doris opening a door in her house and reacting in shock although I think it's pretty clear that the window breaking and Doris opening the door are two different scenes and Doris is reacting to something else entirely in the scene. Kind of seems like she may be discovering a dead body in her home. I was very excited to see a shot of Dennis O'Hare's character in the season whose name we have yet to learn but his character is seen walking his dogs along the beach when he finds a severed hand and a foot on the shore. The hand has a very prominent ring with the letter R on it but none of these characters that we know of so far have an R initial in their name so I can't make any guesses on who the hand belongs to but I will say this is very similar to how the body of the Lady of the Dunes was discovered although I'm pretty certain that this season has enough going on in it they don't need to bring this cold case into the mix but again who knows um I did do a video on the Lady of the Dunes if you haven't seen it already but anyway Alma then states it takes pain to make beautiful thing followed by some shots of her being very proficient at playing the violin I wonder if she is also being slipped some performance enhancing substances from the locals. Mickey is then shown walking through a house holding a crowbar followed by our only shot of a dina porter in the trailer and goddamn spoiler alert but her neck is gushing with blood um you know it's hard to come back from a slit in the throat so I fear that this is her death scene. We know Adina is playing a police chief named Chief Burleson and she is wearing her uniform in this shot from what may be her death scene but who knows maybe there is more to the scene as this is a pretty big spoiler for the trailer to hit us with if this is the end of Chief Burleson um I'm gonna talk a little bit more about Adina later but let's move on. We then see Belle pulling out a switchblade and swinging it at somebody off screen with Austin and Harry by her side cut to a shot of Harry in a basement kneeling over a body he's presumably killed and then he appears to shoot an off-screen witness as well Harry says I'm trying to keep this family together under very difficult circumstances then Billy Lord makes her appearance as Lark who is firing up a dental drill and taking it to Harry's teeth it seems as though the body modification hints and theories are referring to this character she barely shows up in this trailer so I'm pretty intrigued to find out more information about Lark come August 25th next TV Karen is seen feeding off of Mickey's neck I don't know maybe it's just an intense hug but with the following shot of Karen with blood dripping from her mouth I'm going to go with this is Karen indicating some vampiric tendencies next there is a peculiar shot of one of the creatures who may or may not be sirens but they look more like Nosferatu in this shot the creature is holding flowers at the cemetery as someone falls to her knees before it we can't really see the character that is falling to her knees but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it might be Lark then the final shot of the trailer is Doris screaming in the pain of labor with Harry by her side we then get a list of the 10 main cast members for red tide which is 80 percent identical to the one we got way back in the beginning of 2020 which honestly is pretty impressive considering all that has transpired since then but as we've long suspected Kathy Bates is no longer a part of the cast the other cast member that is missing from this list that was in the first cast announcement is Adina Porter now there is a lot this could mean and obviously Adina is in the season but firstly due to something in Adina's contract in regards to her commitments to other shows in the past and previous seasons she hasn't been credited as a main despite being one of the season's main characters this was the case for Lee Harris in Roanoke and Beverly Hope and Colt so it very well could be another contractual conflict at play here that means she can't be credited as a main cast member and her character still could be a main character or maybe her role has changed a lot in the year and a half since the first cast was announced her character's death was potentially just spoiled by the trailer so maybe she really isn't a pivotal character this year but only time will tell so while the second cast list lacks Kathy and Adina it does have two cast members that were not in the first cast announcement with Francis Conroy and Ryan Keira Armstrong but we've long known that they are a part of the season as well okay now that we've run down the basic premise and and the events that we see transpire in the trailer let's do some theorizing the first thing I want to talk about is the undeniable vampire vibes of this trailer I mean with T.B. Karen literally feeding from somebody's neck and then this shot of Harry looking at Doris's bloody finger I think perhaps one of the side effects of the drug that Harry is taking is a thirst for blood presumably the chemist is behind this drug and I wonder if she is using people in the town to test some of her drugs maybe T.B. Karen was a part of an earlier trial of this drug and the drug that Harry is taking is more effective as the drug seems to affect creativity and productivity because Harry's writer's block is cured and he even seemingly finds success in his writing based on what bell implies but like Bell says success can be addictive if Bell and Austin are also taking the same drug as Harry they are definitely more high functioning than T.B. Karen and the deranged Harry that we see glimpses of in the trailer maybe the difference is dosage or maybe Bell and Austin aren't taking the drug and they're just working for the chemist to loop people into her medical trials I don't know but I don't think these people are literal vampires like the ones we've seen in hotel but more like chemically made vampires at the hands of the chemist I'm definitely thinking Harry will struggle with a thirst for blood this season and perhaps that is why he goes to Lark to sharpen his teeth maybe this is a common service that Lark provides to the people of Provincetown depending on how widespread this operation is while you guys the wait is almost over for season 10 and let me say this season looks extremely promising based on the trailer visually it looks more striking than any season since hotel dare I say largely due to this massachusetts and winter setting but also the cinematography is looking reminiscent of murderhouse or asylum even with that said though it also looks like something very fresh and new for ahs it definitely has its own look and feel and I'm really looking forward to exploring these characters and the setting more I've been dreaming of a snow capped season of ahs reminiscent of the shining for forever and this will definitely satisfy that dream for me I think especially with Harry's rider's block I'm pretty certain that the season will be drawing some inspiration from the shining so that's exciting part of me is a little bum that will only be here for part one of the season but we still know practically nothing about part two death valley so let's not jump the gun but there you have it that is my breakdown of the red tide trailer for double feature make sure you're subscribed for more ahs content let me know all of your thoughts and your theories in the comments below and I will see you guys very soon thank you for watching
