The American Horror Story: Apocalypse cast, which is a crossover between Murder House & Coven, is really beefing up. It has been announced that a handful of actresses from the Coven cast are all coming back.
Executive producer Ryan Murphy announced that Coven favorites Stevie Nicks, Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, Lily Rabe and Frances Conroy would all be returning for season eight. Nicks guest-stars in Coven as herself. Rabe plays Misty Day, who was largely influenced by the iconic singer. Farmiga and Sidibe play witches Zoe and Queenie. Conroy is Myrtle Snow, the eccentric head of the Witches’ Council. The news comes days after Murphy revealed he invited all of the Coven witches back to return for the upcoming eighth season.
It was announced last Friday that Jessica Lange will reprise her original American Horror Story role of the tragic and intrusive Constance Langdon. Sarah Paulson will reprise both her Coven and Murder House characters, and direct the episode in which her longtime friend and former co-star Lange would return (episode six). Paulson also says she appears more as her Coven character in season 8.
The Apocalypse cast also includes Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Adina Porter, Emma Roberts, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman and Billie Lourd, while Joan Collins joins as one very high-profile addition. Roberts is also playing her Coven role, Madison Montgomery.
The question is will Murder House original cast members, Dylan McDermott or Connie Britton, also be returning? Nothing announced as of yet but that would truly make this complete.
