Season 10 of the F.X. horror anthology series American Horror Story, created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, is titled Double Feature.

Rotten Tomatoes Ratings: | – |
The highly anticipated premiere of “the most expensive T.V. series ever made” (rumored to have a budget double that of the entire LOTR film trilogy) has finally arrived, and it comes with free two-day shipping. Filmed in New Zealand alongside Peter Jackson’s films, The Rings of Power is a prequel series that is not an adaptation of J.R.R.

The daughter of a down-on-his-luck lord in medieval England manages to thwart her father’s plans to marry her to a wealthy suitor. The appearance of the most repulsive suitor imaginable tests the extent to which her parents love her.
