Witches for American Horror Story Season 3

The next season for American Horror Story will be called: 'Coven' and focus on witchcraft.

Source: TVOvermind

I, for one, couldn't help but wonder how they might follow up season two's 'Asylum' and thanks to TVOvermind we now know the next season is 'Coven'. Ryan Murphy, show co-creator, confirmed the third season subtitle and focus.

Cast members Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Frances Conroy and Lily Rabe will return. Taissa Farmiga will return from season one. And Kathy Bates will join the cast for the third season as Lange's main opponent. The show will film in New Orleans (the first two seasons were mainly filmed on sound stages).

One last bit of info they dropped during the panel was that they've been knocking around the idea of doing a vampire season. There are too many vampire movies and books popping up right now, in my opinion, so I can't say I mind them holding off on that one. I'm sure if anyone could do it right, it would be AHS, but I'm looking forward to 'Coven' this fall.

I can totally see Jessica Lange playing some elder uber-powerful Endora-type witch :twisted:

Add Kathy Bates and it's going to be awesome.

i'm glad they didn't do a vampire season. What with True Blood and The Vampire Diaries and the potential Vampire Diaries spin off there's a lot of vampire stuff on tv right now.

Yes 2 shows qualifies "a lot"

I'm glad they didn't do vampires but I really don't think 2 shows qualifies as a lot of vampire stuff on tv.

I hope this season has a lot of convoluted plots they wrap up in 2 -3 episodes only to move onto the next round of convoluted plots using only the most well known of witch story tropes for the next 2-3 episodes.
