Ryan Murphy has confirmed that season 8 of American Horror Story will be a crossover of Murder House and Coven. Which familiar characters from those seasons could reappear?

Murphy has long teased that the worlds of Murder House and Coven would eventually collide, but only recently confirmed it would be in the upcoming season 8 of the anthology series.

Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters are promised to return, possibly as their Murder House and Coven characters. Other fan favorites can certainly return as well in a season filled with spirits and witches.

Let’s take a look at witch — pun intended — familiar faces are likely to reappear in season 8.

Billie Dean Howard (Sarah Paulson)

Before she was one the biggest stars of every season, Sarah Paulson played the much smaller role of Billie Dean Howard in season 1’s Murder House. Billie Dean is a medium, one who is able to communicate with spirits. Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange) employed Billie Dean to help her son Tate move on to the next world.

Hotel — season 5 — featured Billie Dean’s return when she went to the Hotel Cortez each year on Devil’s Night to communicate with the spirits there as part of her supernatural reality show. She is sent screaming from the hotel and under threat if she reveals what she learned that night, but she is still alive.

With Sarah Paulson confirmed to return and an ongoing staple of the show, resuming the role of Billie Dean feels like a natural fit. She already returned to the character in Hotel. The crossover of Murder House and Coven seems poised for an inevitable clashing of spirits and witches. Billie Dean Howard is the perfect character to foster that connectivity.

Cordelia Foxx (Sarah Paulson)

Cordelia Foxx became the new Supreme at the end of Coven. She made the existence of witches known to the whole world, reaching out to young witches in need of guidance and a new home.

As the public face of witches and the Coven and Sarah Paulson’s confirmed return, it seems inevitable that Cordelia will play an important role in season 8. Even if the season chooses to focus on new witches, they’ll likely have been taught by or at least share a connection to Cordelia.

She strove to lead her Coven better than her mother ever did. It’s time to see whether Cordelia has been able to make her dreams a reality.

Tate Langdon (Evan Peters)

No American Horror Story character is arguably more popular than Tate Langdon from Murder House. Evan Peters grounded the dark, twisted character with a charming, quirky, and even lovable performance.

It seems unlikely that American Horror Story can dive back into Murder House without incorporating Tate. His spirit is tied to the Murder House and cannot leave — except on Devil’s Night – -but season 8 is bound to spend time in the infamous location, meaning the fan favorite will probably return in all his glory.

Peters has starred in every single season, and it seems only fitting to now see him reprise his original and most iconic role.

Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange)

Jessica Lange’s sensational performance as Constance Langdon was crucial to making American Horror Story an instant success. Lange has unfortunately not starred in the series since Freak Show — season 4 — but season 8’s emphasis on Murder House seems like a natural way for her to return.

Constance was one of the few characters — and really the only main character — to survive Murder House. The season ended with Constance raising Michael, her grandson and the child of Tate and Vivien Harmon. She returned home to find that Michael (only a few years old) had killed the nanny. Constance still seemed to adore the self-satisfied Michael after realizing what he’d done, but it will grow more difficult to maintain those feelings as he grows older and becomes more and more like daddy Tate.

Season 1 ended before fans could learn more, but now fans can get all the answers they desire about Constance raising Michael.

Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga)

The young witch Zoe was one of the few characters to survive Coven. She even died on her journey to becoming the new Supreme, but ended up being resurrected by Cordelia. Zoe stood by Cordelia’s side and became part of her Witches’ Council as the Coven was revealed to the world. Unlike her fellow young witch Queenie who was also put in that position but was needlessly killed when the character crossed over into Hotel, Zoe is presumably still breathing and now in even more of a leadership role alongside Cordelia.

Other than a one episode guest role in Roanoke, Taissa Farmiga hasn’t appeared in American Horror Story since Coven. It would be a welcome sight to her not only returning in a starring or recurring capacity, but also to return as Zoe in a season heavy on witches.
