American Horror Story: Apocalypse - 6 Major Questions Raised By The Finale

So the apocalypse has been stopped, the outcomes of Hotel (and possibly Roanoke and Cult) altered in some capacity, and there’s a new Antichrist afoot. This has to impact the series going forward. Any future seasons (however many more they make, if they do make more at all) have to be affected by this season in some capacity.

Assuming we get more stories set in the present day, whatever transpires in them will likely be affected by the events of this season, whether it's the consequences of alterations from the events of other seasons, or an all-new story and setting set in the new timeline that never would have occurred (or have happened differently) if the bombs had dropped.

Of course, they could take the Asylum and Freak Show route of setting it in a previous decade - in which case, it wouldn’t be burdened by the changes Apocalypse brought to the present day. Or who knows, they may go all out and just make a season set in an alternate universe or timeline where they can reboot the entire sequence of events from this show, which leaves them a whole lot of creative freedom. Anything's possible.

But if they stick with the present timeline, whether it directly ties into this season or not, the events of Apocalypse have to catch up to it eventually. They may have sat on that cliffhanger from Murder House for seven years, but as we just saw this season of what became of Michael Langdon, it’s unlikely we won’t see how this new Antichrist tries to destroy the world.

Unless they end the series here and we’re left to assume the apocalypse is initiated once again. Speaking of which...
