Previously On With Will

We’re catching up on American Horror Story Season 13, episodes 1–8. Ben survives a plane crash, takes a night-nurse job that seems designed around his fear of thirteen, and wakes up with a mysterious 616 brand.

Meanwhile, Constance is hiding a connection to a portal to Hell and the witches are facing a threat that may tie both storylines together.

Plus: Fiona Goode’s return, Cordelia’s resurrection, Mallory’s possible connection to a changed timeline, and my theory about Mr. Nas and Ben.

I’m also weighing in on what’s working this season, what isn’t, and the show’s treatment of real-life killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Full spoilers for episodes 1–8. What’s your favorite moment so far?

Reality TV is more than champagne tosses, reunion walk-offs, and perfectly timed reaction shots—it’s a cultural mirror.

In the premiere episode of Previously On, Will explains why he created a show dedicated to exploring the real stories behind reality TV. He breaks down how the new series differs from NO MAAM and BLK By Design, why editing and production shape what audiences believe, and what reality television reveals about race, gender, queerness, fame, power, and culture.

Welcome to Previously On—where we revisit the moments, unpack the edit, and find the real story behind reality TV.
