Witches rule this September.

Filming is beginning soon on this year’s eighth season of FX’s “American Horror Story,” and Ryan Murphy just dropped a massive bombshell on fans this afternoon. That “Coven”/”Murder House” crossover season that was planned for the future, but definitely *not* for Season 8? Well, as it turns out, Season 8 is the crossover season after all!

Murphy revealed today…

The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won’t be happening next year…because it’s happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER — Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) June 14, 2018

Murphy recently teased Season 8, which had been rumored to be titled “American Horror Story: Radioactive” and set in the future, “You will see so many fan favorites return that you’ll feel like it’s The Love Boat. Very high concept. It’s a season unlike anything we’ve done because there’s a big hook to it. There’s a huge thing that happens in episode five.”

Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Joan Collins, Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter and Leslie Grossman are set to star in Season 8.
