Pose star Angelica Ross has landed a major role on another FX show. Ross is set to join the cast of American Horror Story.
The news comes less than 24 hours after a pivotal episode on the FX drama. In the upcoming ninth season of the horror anthology, titled AHS: 1984, Ross will appear in an “unforgettable” role, according to Murphy. Murphy took to social media to announce the casting, while also speaking out about putting a spotlight on violence against trans women of color with Candy’s fate.
“Last night’s episode of Pose required us all to dig deep — @janetmock as writer, myself as writer and director, but most of all our incredible leading ladies,” wrote the showrunner. “I must applaud @angelicaross for her tour de force of a performance as Candy Abundance Ferocity. It has been a gift to watch her blossom as a true star and undeniable talent. Though she will always be our Candy, and our show suffers this incredible loss, I am elated that the world will get much more Angelica. She is joining the American Horror Story family in another unforgettable role. Congrats Angelica for making history, leaping from #PoseFX to #AHS1984. Welcome to the #AHS family!”
The cards seem to be in play for another successful season of Murphy’s anthology series.
