American Horror Story is a horror television franchise created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Described as an anthology series, each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a disparate set of characters and settings, and a storyline with its own "beginning, middle and end". The first season, subsequently retitled American Horror Story:
Murder House, takes place in the present day and follows the story of a family that moves into a restored mansion, unaware that the home is haunted by its former inhabitants.
The second season, titled American Horror Story: Asylum, takes place in 1964 and follows the stories of the patients, doctors and nuns who occupy an institution for the criminally insane.
The third season, titled American Horror Story: Coven, takes place in the present day and follows the antics and events of a coven of Salem descendants who reside within a boarding school, Miss Robichaux's Academy, centered in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The fourth season will be set in Jupiter, Florida in 1952. It will be centered around one of the few remaining freak shows at the time, as its members do anything to keep the business alive.
The season will focus on the conflict between the freaks and the "evil forces" who do not understand them. The season will also feature a "clown killer" and a "bearded lady."
With the premiere of American Horror Story: Freak Show looming (mark Oct. 8 on your calendars, if you haven't already), the FX series is taking viewers behind the scenes to introduce some of the lesser-known and quite extraordinary performers who will be showcased on the anthology series this season.
On Friday, AHS boss Ryan Murphy tweeted a video showcasing actor Mat Fraser, who's playing Paul the Illustrated Seal on the series.
