FX's horror-drama breakout 'American Horror Story' secured its fourth season the other day, though curiously without confirming that series anchor Jessica Lange would return, following reports the star intended only to do one more season beyond 'Coven.' Now, it seems 'Coven' stars Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett have officially been approached to return, but what does it mean for the franchise?
Shock of shocks, FX has decided to order a fourth season of its most buzzworthy hit 'American Horror Story,' just four episodes into its witchy third season, 'Coven.' The Ryan Murphy horror-drama will return in 2014 for another round of 13 episodes, but what spooky setting will the showrunners conjure up this time?
Our last look into the witchy goings-on of 'American Horror Story: Coven' didn't reveal much beyond an expected premiere date of October 9, but the black cat's out of the bag now! FX has released the full plot synopsis for the coming third season of Ryan Murphy's horror thriller, including a number of character descriptions, so check out the "Supreme" secrets of 'American Horror Story: Coven' right here!
As far back as the end of 'American Horror Story: Asylum' last year, fans and followers of the Ryan Murphy FX horror drama had some inclination that the third season would lean toward witchcraft, ultimately confirmed by adopting the surname 'Coven.' 'American Horror Story' season 3 very nearly took a different turn however, as Murphy claims he originally intended to devote the season to the real-life story of infamous killer Charles Manson.
