Just last year Ryan Phillippe’s USA drama Shooter delayed its premiere in response to the Sniper attack in Dallas.
Back in 1999, Buffy the Vampire Slayer cancelled the airing of its Season 3 episode “Earshot”, following the events of the Columbine Massacre.
While delaying the airing of AHS: Cult’s next episode will disrupt the network’s schedule, there is precedent for networks temporarily keeping back sensitive content in the past.
And this week Netflix announced that its NY Comic-Con panel for The Punisher is cancelled in order to be sensitive to the victims of the Las Vegas attack.
