American Horror Story: Roanoke In March 2016, the series received a major tax credit for filming of the season in Los Angeles, California.[51] Cast alum Angela Bassett, along with Jennifer Lynch, Marita Grabiak, Gwyneth Horder-Payton, Elodie Keene, and Alexis Korycinski were set as directors during the season, marking the first time women have served in the capacity on the show.[33] In June 2016, cast member Jackson stated that the season had already clandestinely begun principal photography earlier that month.[52] On August 1, 2016, TMZ published photographs of the American Horror Story set in Santa Clarita, California; that consists of a small Pioneer home, and a tree with the word "Croatoan" carved into its center. Both of these things are attributed to the 1590 colony of 117 people, in Roanoke, North Carolina, that disappeared without a trace, and the only clue left was the carving – the name being a nearby island and tribe of Native Americans.[27] Later, TMZ unveiled more set photos from an unknown California forest.[28]
