The video features clown-like figures rocking in a circle around a head clown leader who spews bees out of his mouth.
Another Spanish teaser was released, featuring the same masked figure.
Girls actress Lena Dunham was recently announced for the latest season. She will be joined by Billy Eichner (Billy on the Street), Colton Haynes (Teen Wolf, Arrow), and Billie Lourd (Scream Queens).
Only two cast members have been confirmed as returning: Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters.
