Filming for American Horror Story season 7 has begun as leaked photos from the show's set, featuring the first look at Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Adina Porter's character have surfaced on Twitter.

The photos show Peters sporting long blue hair, which is pulled back into a bun while he is being interviewed by reporters on the steps of a courthouse. The 30-year-old actor has bruises on his face and his arm is in a sling.

One of the reporters is played by actor Adina Porter, who had a big role in AHS Roanoke. Peters' character doesn't look too happy being interviewed by Porter. Actor Sarah Paulson was also spotted on the set, as the leaked pictures show her sporting short-ironed hair, and wearing a long grey jacket.

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy previously confirmed that plot for American Horror Story season 7 will center on 2016 US election. Talking to Andy Cohen for What Happens Live, Murphy teased the upcoming episodes are "going to be about the election that we just went through so I think that will be interesting for a lot of people".

Sarah Paulson spoke about the show's plot and urged fans to expect more from creator Ryan Murphy. The Emmy-winning star told The Hollywood Report at the PaleyFest red carpet back in March, "Ryan has a very unique perspective on everything. Is there anything that he has put out into the world that hasn't been a sort of unique or inventive way to look at something that maybe some could say has been done before? He reinvents everything."

She continued, "Whatever the angle he's going to take, it will be unique, which will make it new, which will make us interested and make our eyes and ears open probably in a way that we hadn't thought about."
