American Horror Story Season 12 Unveils Jaw-Dropping Coven Connection You Won't Believe!

The character posters for American Horror Story season 12 suggest a fascinating link to the beloved Coven storyline. Titled Delicate, this season is based on Danielle Valentine's novel Delicate Condition. Coven, which originally aired ten years ago as season 3 of American Horror Story, revolved around a group of young witches at a New Orleans boarding school, led by Cordelia and her mother Fiona. Although some Coven characters appeared in the crossover event for season 8's Apocalypse, they have not been seen since.

However, American Horror Story: Delicate does not appear to continue any existing storylines from the franchise. Instead, it draws similarities to Rosemary's Baby, as it follows a young woman's struggle to conceive while confronting malevolent forces that aim to prevent her pregnancy. Season 12 features Emma Roberts, a veteran of American Horror Story, in a significant role, alongside newcomers Matt Czuchry, Kim Kardashian, and Cara Delevingne. While a complete trailer for American Horror Story: Delicate is yet to be released prior to its premiere on September 20th, the character posters indicate a surprising connection to Coven.

American Horror Story Season 12's Spider Tease Hints At Connection To Coven's Zoe

The character posters for season 12 of American Horror Story offer a glimpse into what lies ahead for the characters in Delicate. Of particular interest are the posters featuring Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts. Both women are depicted with large spiders positioned over their stomachs, creating the illusion of a pregnancy baby bump. While this may initially appear to be a creepy promotional tactic, it could actually be hinting at a connection to the Coven storyline through Taissa Farmiga's character, Zoe Benson. In Coven, Zoe possessed "Black Widow" powers as a witch, which allowed her to kill her victims through intercourse-induced hemorrhaging.

Although the spiders on the season 12 posters do not have red markings, the way Roberts' hands are positioned suggests that something may be concealed. Roberts was a standout star in Coven, so it would be fitting to establish a connection between her Delicate character and the events of season 3. The notion of a sinister pregnancy tied to the coven is also believable, given previous hints about the return of the witches before the series concludes. Even if Roberts portrays a character other than Madison Montgomery from Coven, this would not be the first time that an actor has played multiple roles within a single season of American Horror Story.

American Horror Story: Delicate Could Mark Taissa Farmiga's First Appearance In 5 Years

Taissa Farmiga, a notable American Horror Story veteran, portrayed multiple characters in a season. She reprised her roles as Zoe and Murder House's Violet in Apocalypse. If season 12 incorporates elements of Coven and features the witches, it could mark Farmiga's return to American Horror Story since 2018. Although Farmiga has appeared in four seasons, there has been anticipation for her to have a leading role in an upcoming season.

It would be intriguing if Delicate's hints about spiders tied into an explanation of a witch's Black Widow powers or other dark forces. Additionally, witnessing another Coven crossover would be thrilling. A cameo by Farmiga or another Coven witch in American Horror Story season 12 could lay the groundwork for a future crossover event, satisfying the hints of the witches' return. Even if this does not happen, the appearance of familiar faces from previous seasons in Delicate would be an enjoyable exchange.
