[juliahearts]

Ah, so excited for the third season. Really excited to see some promos.

 

[heelscatchfire]

Great news! I've been waiting to see what the new title would be.

Also read that they hope to have some scenes in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Following a second season subtitled Asylum, co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed that next year will carry the subtitle Coven. "It's a really cool story that we've been talking for a couple years, and this seemed to be the year to do it," he said, noting the series will shoot in multiple locations, one of which is New Orleans -- the first time the series has exited its soundstage filming location.

Murphy also revealed that he's been talking with FX president John Landgraf about potentially doing a companion piece to AHS, noting that he had a couple of different ideas

I thought this was really interesting. I can't wait to see what Ryan Murphy comes up with.

In addition to Lange, AHS cast members set to return for season three include Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy and Lily Rabe. (Farmiga, for her part, sat out the recently concluded second season.)
Murphy previously told reporters that the third season will be more upbeat than Asylum. "What season three is about is more historical in nature," he told reporters during a January screening of the Asylum finale.
"I'm also interested in getting into a horror romance," he said. "That's certainly something that's going to be in the water for season three. You're going to see a very different tone in season three, but that's the joy of the show. I think as a person right now, I do feel lighter and wanting to embrace something a little bit more fun."

Ryan Murphy Reveals More American Horror Story: Coven Plot Details

Ryan Murphy revealed the set up for the next installment of American Horror Story during a Friday night event for Emmy voters. (Full disclosure: This reporter moderated the panel with cast and producers.) Coven will be a massive witch-off: Salem vs. voodoo. "The witches of Salem, the smart ones, got out very early and they were none of the ones who were burned," Murphy explained. "They all gravitated toward New Orleans, where they now live, and every generation has a great witch who has the most powers of them all, and that's called the Supreme. Ms. Jessica Lange is the Supreme."
"It really is about the witches of Salem pitted against voodoo witches," he continued. "It's been a centuries-long feud and it's up to Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett to mend the fence." (Bassett is playing Marie Laveau, "the voodoo queen of New Orleans" whose real-life reign lasted from the 1820s to the 1860s.) Obviously, expect things between the witches — and non-witches — to escalate quickly. "The witches are really sort of a great allegory and metaphor for any minority group that has been persecuted and has had to go underground and, finally, is like, 'You know what? Dammit, no. We're fighting back,' so that's what they do."
It looks like Coven will be set in both the present day and the 1830s. In addition to Bassett's Laveau, Kathy Bates is playing actual historical serial killer Marie Delphine LaLaurie, a.k.a. Madame LaLaurie, who Murphy called "the most evil woman ever." LaLaurie and her third husband tortured and killed several of their slaves in New Orleans in the 1830s, and were discovered only when firefighters broke down a door and discovered their gruesome murder chamber. Ick. But Murphy promised this season would be lighter than Asylum. "It's much more buoyant and comedic and crafty than last season, which was much darker by design because it was about heavy social stuff," he said, then laughed. "[Frances Conroy] plays Jessica's rival from high school times."
Other confirmed cast for Coven so far also includes Sarah Paulson, who will be playing Lange's daughter, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Patti LuPone, Denis O'Hare, Alexandra Breckenridge, and Jamie Brewer.

interesting.
And I am glad Jessica Lange is in the party.
I would probably lose all interest if she left

Thanks heels for the teasers.

Angela Bassett vs Jessica Lange... Clash of the titans.

I'll reserve judgement until the show is half way in-- since it's Ryan Murphy. But, Angela Bassett joining the cast is already got my attention.

 

[Scott]

not to mention the heavyweight that is kathy bates....that's going to be a sensational cast of powerful actresses.

but i agree phuel....i can't wait to see it because you just never know with ryan....it can be campy to the point of being absolutely contriving or stunningly imaginitive. we shall see but i like concept and love the added cast members,as said.

 

[Phuel]

Leaving Kathy Bates out was deliberate on my part, Scott...

BUT ANGELA BASSETT Y'ALL!!!!!

 

[heelscatchfire]

I like Kathy! Her role is going to be fantastic! I had to google her character & I'm sure it's going to be great!

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]
