American Horror Story uses an anthology format, where each season is a self-contained story. Season one followed the terrors of the Harmon family living in the “Murder House” and their tormentor Rubber Man. Season two, titled ‘Asylum‘, was set in a 1960′s asylum and featured the serial killer Bloody Face. Not much is known about season three besides the title, ‘Coven’, but anticipation is running high for the fall premier.
I really hope this season airs later this year, because I am just dying to know what role Kathy Bates and Gabourey Sidibe will have! I'm looking forward to finding out, so I will definitely make it a point to catch this season live! Usually I don't watch live TV because of my late work schedule at DISH, but for this season of AHS I'll just watch with my phone. I have downloaded the DISH Anywhere app recently and can watch all of my shows from home anywhere I go now, so luckily watching Coven live right in my office each week will be easy; I can't wait!
