New American Horror Story Season 12 Teases Exciting Coven Crossover Possibilities with Hints of a Delicate Condition Find out how Emma Roberts' dual casting could be handled in this thrilling season!
WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for American Horror Story: Delicate episode 1 and the book Delicate Condition.
Summary
There is a possibility of a crossover between American Horror Story: Delicate and Coven, where the connection between witches and the new season's plot will be explored. The show could potentially include a shocking twist ending which is hinted at in the book Delicate Condition, on which the season is based.
Despite the absence of Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, there are several ways in which American Horror Story: Delicate can establish a connection to the Coven season. This can be achieved through referencing characters in conversations or utilizing flashbacks. Given that the show has previously employed dual casting, it is feasible for Emma Roberts to portray two distinct characters in the new season.
American Horror Story: Delicate has the potential to incorporate a crossover with the third season of the show, American Horror Story: Coven. Serving as the twelfth installment of the anthology series, Delicate Condition, a book penned by Danielle Valentine, serves as the inspiration for this season. The narrative revolves around the struggles of Anna Alcott, a talented young actress, and her endeavors to conceive a child with her spouse. It is strongly hinted that there may be a profound link between the upcoming season and a character from Coven.
Delicate Condition Hints American Horror Story Season 12 Is A Coven Crossover
: American Horror Story: Delicate's premiere episode drew heavily from Valentine's book, teasing a continuation of the same storyline. With this in mind, it's only a matter of time before the theme of witches and covens emerges in the current season led by Emma Roberts. Considering Ryan Murphy's penchant for crossover seasons, there's a possibility that American Horror Story: Coven will make an appearance in this latest installment.
In Danielle Valentine's "Delicate Condition," an unexpected twist ending ties together the enigmatic events of the story with a clandestine group of witches. We learn that Anna's friend, Siobhan, is secretly affiliated with this coven, and it is through their intervention that Anna's baby is miraculously saved following her miscarriage. As "American Horror Story: Delicate" is based on this book, it is likely to incorporate this gripping conclusion, further exploring the themes of covens and witches that the series has ventured into before.
The third season of American Horror Story, titled Coven, revolved around a group of witches. This suggests that there is a possibility of Ryan Murphy incorporating another crossover in the current season. Throughout its run, American Horror Story has introduced various crossovers, including the character Pepper, who appeared in both American Horror Story: Asylum and American Horror Story: Freak Show. However, the most significant crossover occurred in American Horror Story: Apocalypse, which brought together characters from Murder House, Coven, and American Horror Story: Hotel.
Given the connection to covens in the current season, it wouldn't be surprising if Murphy chose to connect it with season 3 and reintroduce some of the characters. Although Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters have confirmed that they will not be returning for American Horror Story season 12, there are alternative ways to establish continuity between the seasons. The show could mention the characters by name or introduce new actors playing new witches who belong to the same coven from season 3, even if they did not previously appear in the show.
American Horror Story Season 12 Already Teased A Big Coven Connection
Ryan Murphy's potential plan for a Coven crossover in American Horror Story is not a new concept and existed prior to the premiere episode. This possibility emerged when season posters were unveiled in August, featuring Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian alongside gigantic spiders, potentially symbolizing Taissa Farmiga's character Zoe Benson and her "Black Widow" powers.
There has been no indication of Farmiga's return to the show, and she has not appeared in American Horror Story since the eighth season. Nevertheless, even if she does not make a cameo in American Horror Story: Delicate, the other characters could acknowledge her existence through conversations or flashbacks to season 3. Given American Horror Story's intricate plotlines, it is probable that the spider serves as an Easter egg for Farmiga's character from Coven.
How American Horror Story Could Handle Emma Roberts' Dual Casting
If American Horror Story: Delicate were to do a crossover with Coven, it would present a major contradiction regarding Emma Roberts playing both Anna and Madison. This would be particularly challenging since Roberts is the main character of the season. However, American Horror Story has previously featured actors portraying multiple roles. In the Apocalypse season, Farmiga portrayed both her Murder House character, Violet Harmon, and her Coven character, Zoe Benson. Surprisingly, there is a scene where Madison visits the Murder House and does not acknowledge the uncanny resemblance between herself and Zoe.
Although it may have initially felt odd to witness one actress playing two characters without any acknowledgment of their similarities, this formula worked in Apocalypse and could potentially work again in American Horror Story: Delicate. It would be even more intriguing if the series found a way to connect Anna to Madison's character. Given the show's tendency to traverse timelines, there may exist a plausible explanation for why Anna and Madison not only share an appearance but also belong to the same coven.
New episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate premiere Wednesdays on FX.
