Ryan Murphy popped onto Twitter to share some big news about the next installment of American Horror Story.
And while fans usually freak out (with good reason) when he makes the big reveal about what topic the anthology series will tackle next, this one is especially exciting.

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

That’s right — AHS season 8 will be a crossover with Murder House (2011) and Coven (2013).
The series got its start with Murder House when a family moved into a very lovely (though terribly haunted) house in Los Angeles.
Coven, of course, revolved around a group of witches in New Orleans.

Will the witches close escrow on the murder house? Will the house grow feathered wings and transport itself to the Bayou? Only time will tell.
Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Kathy Bates — who appeared in both seasons — are set to return, though it’s not clear which characters they’ll revisit (or will they play dual roles?).
Also on board for season 8 is Dame Joan Collins, set to play a “glamorous” part. Duh.
“It’s a very high concept”, Murphy told Entertainment Weekly.
“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 5.”

Correct me if I am wrong, but Kathy Bates was not in season 1, she didn’t show up until the Coven season.
That being said, I can’t wait to see another season of the Coven witches, that was the best season yet!

Me too, Coven was definitely one of my best AHS seasons ever.

Damn they need to kill this one with a steak. It was fun a novelty but now it’s just getting old.

PREACH, nothing can come close to season 1.

Will it be medium-rare, or well done?

Joan Collins will be playing Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan. She saved her shoulder pads. She just knew that she would be needing them again at some point.

A girl never knows when she will need her 80’s shoulder pads.

Coven is one of my least favorite seasons of AHS. Stylish yes, but storyline all over the place.
That said, still excited to see Joan Collins!
Any word if Dylan McDermott or Connie Britton will be back? Murder House was their only season.
