Twitter account @ahsleak pointed out that a trademark has been filed for American Horror Story: Radioactive, which could possibly mean that it’s the theme of Season 8.

Random thought: what if this creature was a person effected by radiation in #AHS8? Or a mutation or something that was created from the effects of radioactivity? And also I want to point out that this whole setting looks like the result of radioactivity? @marygirlmoody pic.twitter.com/vIqzAzxPdc

Earlier this year, on the Television Critics Associations' press tour, creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy teased details of the show's upcoming season.
“I pitched it to [FX boss] John Landgraf today right after his TCA panel, and he loved it, but he’s asked me not to say what it is,” said Murphy. “I told him and he fell out of his chair with joy. I think people will like it, it’s different from what we’ve done before, but I always try and do the opposite of what I’ve done on that show.”
While Murphy may not have been able to discuss the show's actual theme, he did provide a hint at things to come.
“All I’ll say about it is I want to go to the future—still topical, but the future, which I’ve never done.”
Does “Radioactive” seem futuristic? We seem to think so…
