In a conference call with reporters on Tuesday, Murphy previewed the second half of AHS‘ current edition, beginning with this Wednesday’s episode (FX, 10/9c). What follows are the key takeaways:* Beginning this week, “Something happens where half the cast is revealed to be doing something completely different than you’ve seen in the first five [episodes],” Murphy revealed, adding, “You realize what you’ve been watching with some of the characters is not [who] they are. [The actors] had to do a mad scramble to find new voices and accents. It is a big turn. It’s the biggest plot twist we’ve ever done with the show. And there’s a startling announcement in Act 3 that resets the season up until Episode 10.”* AHS vets Taissa Farmiga and Finn Wittrock will be back later this season in unspecified roles.* Murphy confirms that Gaga’s Coven-infused persona is, in fact, the Original Supreme, adding that he plans to bring the character back in a future AHS season that will “return to Coven.”* The plot of next season’s AHS will not be shrouded in secrecy like Season 6’s was. “We’re going to announce [the premise] in the spring,” said Murphy. “We’re not doing a secrecy thing, but [next season] does have a big hook behind it.” (Season 7 will explore some Freak Show characters.)
