Dylan McDermott teases his return to American Horror Story in spooky behind-the-scenes photo with co-star Evan Peters
American Horror Story is set to return with the highly anticipated Apocalypse cross-over season come September.
And star Dylan McDermott looked thrilled to be working on the TV fright-fest once again, sharing a spooky behind-the-scenes photo on his Instagram Wednesday.
'Just like old times...' the 56-year-old actor captioned a photo of he and co-star Evan Peters, 31, peeping through a rust and vine-covered fence.

Earlier this week The Hollywood Reporter broke news that Dylan and Connie Britton would be returning to the Ryan Murphy anthology series.
Britton will be reprising her role as Vivien Harmon - the tortured wife and mother from the original season of Murder House.
Dylan McDermott will return as Vivien's husband Ben.

FX revealed that the latest iteration of AHS will be a crossover between the earlier Murder House and Coven seasons.
Emma Roberts and Jessica Lange are slated for roles along with a mix of AHS mainstays and newcomers that include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman, Adina Porter, Taissa Farmiga and Cheyenne Jackson.
Two posters for the upcoming season of American Horror Story were released on Friday.
Casting call: Dylan McDermott - who played Vivien's husband Ben in Murder House - was spotted on set this past Wednesday as well
Perfect pair! The 51-year-old actress and 56-year-old actor will soon be filming scenes for the eighth installment of Ryan Murphy's anthology series - entitled Apocalypse (pictured together 2011)
Both feature a creepy black hand with long black nails and a baby that appears to be covered in blood.
The poster could be a call back to Murder House, where in the finale Vivian (Connie Britton) gave birth to a baby later revealed to be the Antichrist. The child , who was named Michael, was taken by Constance (Jessica Lange).
There’s a chance the baby in the poster is baby Michael.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in May, creator Ryan Murphy said: ‘It’s a season unlike anything we’ve done because there’s a big hook to it. There’s a huge thing that happens in episode five.’

He wouldn’t provide any clues about the twist, but did promise that American Horror Story fans will see many of their favourite cast members return for season eight.
‘You will see so many fan favorites return that you’ll feel like it’s The Love Boat. It’s a very high concept,’ he revealed.
Meanwhile, Variety reported that the horror anthology was renewed for a tenth season, even as the ninth season's story has yet to be revealed.
Apocalypse will premiere on September 12 on FX.
