Q: Why are Evan Peters, Kate Mara, and James Van Der Beek credited before the LGBT+ BIPOC main cast members even though they only appear in the first season?
A: Per MOS:TVCAST: The cast listing should be ordered according to the original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list. The creators and executive producers chose to credit Peters, Mara, and Van Der Beek before every other starring cast member in the pilot episode and throughout the first season.
