“Murder House”, the first season of FX’s “American Horror Story“, is considered by many to be the strongest with the third season, “Coven”, being the next most beloved entry. Fans have long been digging into those seasons to study the various clues and mysteries in the hopes that more of the overall theme can be figured out. Earlier this month, show creator Ryan Murphy said that at some point the TV show would find a revisit “Coven”, although there was no revelation on how that would be done. Today, at a panel at EW’s PopFest Sunday, Murphy was questioned about this and let loose some more information that is quite fascinating!
Talking to moderator Tim Stack, Murphy explained, “We do know what we’re going to do. It’s not going to be next season, but we are going to do a season that’s a crossover between ‘Murder House’ and ‘Coven’ together, which is very bizarre. There will be characters from ‘Murder House’ and characters from ‘Coven’ together.”
Murphy explained that due to scheduling, this exploration will not be the basis for the show’s seventh season. However, it’s something that is in the works and he is already approaching stars of the first season to see if they’ll be interested in returning for another round.
“I’ve [already] started going to actors from both of the seasons, quietly, saying, ‘I think in this window, if you could fit us in.’” So yeah, it’s fun. It’s weird.”
Although he didn’t confirm who he had approached, we can assume this will include Emma Roberts, who played in “Coven” and was in attendance at the panel, as well as Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott.
