The Official Synopsis for AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN Final Makes An Appearance

Seems like it has been a long time coming but the folks over at FX have finally let loose with some plot details for this season and it goes just like this:

Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials, and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind, and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Jessica Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.

I think it goes without saying that this is shaping up to be one kick ass, wild ride. One of the best cast ever assembled includes Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Alexandra Breckenridge, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Jamie Brewer, Evan Peters, Gabourey Sidibe, Angela Bassett, Patti Lupone, Christine Ebersole, and Denis O’Hare.
