“The first 10 minutes of the season takes place in a very eerie macabre way on Election Night and there’s something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on Election Night as they’re watching it all go down,” Murphy said.

Murphy said he will announce the title of the seventh season on Thursday.

Dunham was a strong supporter of Clinton during the election and has been a vocal opponent of Trump.
