As the end of the world approaches, a group of well heeled citizens including glamorous and ultra rich Evie Gallant band together to enter an underground bunker, but little do they know the fate that awaits them.. While cult actress Bubbles McGee must call upon her alter ego to help a coven of witches defeat the evil one who is trying to bring about the end of the world, the Apocalypse!!

Brian Falchuk who helped create the show with Ryan Murphy commented on casting Joan..

'' We have all been obsessed with her forever! Joan is classic Hollywood. A Legend. ''

Falchuk's wife Gwyneth Paltrow commented..

'' Joan Collins became a star when a female was allowed to embody only one archetype, the vixen, but she is so much more than that. She is also one of the wittiest, most brilliant women I have ever come across.''

Joan commented on the show...

'' When I first saw it, I went to my agent and said, “I love this show. Can you get me a role in it?” Nothing. Then I met Ryan Murphy at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and we had a lovely conversation, but I really didn’t think much more of it. Two weeks later we go to see Barbra Streisand at the PaleyFest, and I didn’t know Ryan was going to be interviewing her. We go backstage afterward to see Barbra, and Ryan says, “I just made an offer on you!” That was how I got Dynasty, too: meeting Aaron Spelling at a party. A lot of things happen when you go to those parties!''

She says Murphy, a big admirer, first approached her about appearing in the eighth installment of his FX anthology series last February at a Vanity Fair party. “He said he wanted to write a role specifically for me and wanted to make it very interesting and good and something I could sink my teeth into,” she says. “He didn’t specifically say what it was; that’s the way Ryan works. He doesn’t tell his actors what they’re going to be playing.

“I only knew that I was going to be working with Evan Peters, who is such a wonderful young actor and a pleasure to work with. And I loved working with Kathy Bates [who plays Ms. Miriam Mead]. What an honor.”

Collins isn’t as gushing about the scene (in Episode 2) where Evie was eviscerated by her grandson, who assumed grandma was someone else with whom he’d had an earlier tryst.

“I’m a bit of a squeamish person, so I don’t really watch horror films or bloodthirsty films very much,” Collins says. “I was lying there for hours and hours under a sort of coffin with a board on top of me and a dummy in which all the blood was [shown]. I’ll never eat sausages again. I had to put my mind in a different place so I didn’t concentrate on it too much.

“I have to admit I had a couple of nightmares after that.”
