American Horror Story's six season debuted on Wednesday, but it wasn't until after the show that the series' highly anticipated theme was revealed, which is: My Roanoke Nightmare, about the so-called Lost Colony. Sounds a bit out of left field but it's a reference to the first season.

Previously we've been to "Murder House," "Asylum," "Coven," "Freak Show," and the "Hotel." Season six explores North Carolina's Outer Banks on Roanoke Island, where 117 colonists mysteriously disappeared back in 1590. CREEEPY!

While many have speculated what the theme would be about given the teasers put out prior to the show's premiere, it appears as though the show will actually use a docuseries style narrative to follow Matt (played by Andre Holland in the documentary and Cuba Gooding Jr. in the dramatization) and his wife Shelby (played by Lily Rabe in the “real” interviews and Sarah Paulson in the dramatization) after they move to a farmhouse in rural North Carolina.

We spied Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley, and Kathy Bates playing spine-tingling characters. And of course we noticed a very absent Lady Gaga, whose role in season 6 has been kept under wraps.

American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare airs on FX Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.Â
