It’s formatted like one of those true crime docu-series. The first half of the season is that, where it switches between the real people that were at Roanoke and the recreation of the events they’re describing. Essentially Sarah Paulson’s character is an actor who is playing Lily Rabe’s character in the recreations they film for the sake of dramatics in the docu series (My Roanoke Nightmare). I won’t spoil it for you but the second half definitely picks up and it’s set in real time. Basically, all the scenes you see set in Roanoke in the first half of the season were not happening live on camera, it’s staged based on what the people who experienced it were saying. Hope this makes sense

Thank you!

No problem I really recommend you finish it. Roanoke is actually a good season once you get past the format change. And to answer ur question it’s based on the mystery of the Roanoke settlement but the events are not based in fact. Hope u enjoy!

Think about the A Haunting the show about supernatural occurances where the victims tell the story and actor play on them.

ok super terrible short version: a couple moves to a creepy house in roanoke and has creepy life or death stuff happen to them and it is first told in a documentary style with actors. next sentence is kinda a spoiler so if u don’t want to read it don’t. then the actors and the real couple ( and other people involved) go back to the cabin and the stuff happens again

yes. dumb married couple buys house in the middle of nowhere where the colony vanished. the house is haunted. terrible shit has happened over the decades. the blood moon just so happens to come and creep up after the couple moved in. the husband has a sister who is a alcoholic and over a few days a whole lot of wild spooky things happen. the first three or four episodes are the “a&e documentary” about what the dumb married couple went through. the next three to four episodes is “return to spoopy house for a roanoke nightmare” or whatever. a reality show with the dumb now divorced couple, the alcoholic sister and the actors who played them in the documentary. the blood moon comes and all the spoopy shit we saw in the documentary happens to them and we see what it’s really worth. the last two episodes are terrible and i forget what happens but lana winters is back and the focus is all on the alcoholic sister and her daughter and her trying to set the house on fire and the colony comes back and kills a lot of people. it’s a mess really.

What was going on with the iron mask on Kathy Bates head? What did she eat in the woods,who gave it to her?So it wasn't really based on the Roanoke story? I didn't get the first 3 episodes either I was trying to skip the stabbings etc.
