Watch American Horror Stories season 1, episode 5 online tonight
By Sandy C.
The bite-size thrills from American Horror Stories continue tonight with an all-new episode on FX on Hulu. What are fans in for tonight when American Horror Stories episode 5 premieres? Here, we share the synopsis and tune-in details so you don’t miss a minute of the spin-off series.
The wait for American Horror Story: Double Feature to drop continues, but we are now only a few weeks away! Have you been enjoying American Horror Stories in the meantime? The episodes have been hit and miss. Unfortunately, episode 4, “The Naughty List,” was a major fail in my book.
Still, I’m excited for tonight’s episode. I do love the format of featuring a new horror each episode (with the exception of episode 1 and episode 2). Have you been enjoying the spin-off?
New episodes premiere on FX on Hulu on Thursdays at 12:01 a.m. ET, but this is 11:01 a.m. CT for some, or maybe even earlier (or later), depending on your time zone. Will you be staying up to watch tonight? Or will you catch the episode at a later time? Either way, here are all the details.
What is American Horror Stories episode 5 about?
Episode 5 is titled “BA’AL,” and the official synopsis is:
"“A wife does the unthinkable for a chance at a successful pregnancy.”"
The episode stars Billie Lourd, Virginia Gardner, Ronen Rubinstein, and Chad James buchanan.
A pregnancy? Uh-oh! It looks like we are getting into darker subjects, which I’m here for! Let’s forget all about Bro House and move on to this new horror. What exactly could “the unthinkable” be? And by “successful” pregnancy, I imagine there was pain and loss before. This is going to be an emotional ride!
Also, can we also talk about the cast? Billie Lourd! A latecomer into the American Horror Story franchise, but a loved one! Virginia Gardner may also sound familiar, fans may recognize her from Marvel’s Runaways and the 2018 movie Halloween.
