In the most recent news surrounding this horror television hit, show runner and creator Brian Murphy has announced that every season of American Horror Story is connected. The show’s unique structure and production style have already given it a platform to standout from all other horror episodic shows on television, but now we find that every seemingly random piece will play a part in the puzzle. Speculation began in internet fan circles when news was released that audience favorite two characters (Lily Rabe’s Sister Mary Eunice and Naomi Groosman’s Pepper) from the second season of the show, American Horror Story: Asylum, would return in this most recent installment, American Horror Story: Freakshow. Weeks later Murphy has stated, “The interesting thing about doing a show like this is every season is incredibly its own story and its own beginning, middle and end. Its own journey. But we have always from the very beginning in the intertwining mythologies and how things connect. This is the first year where we begin to tell you that season two is connected to season four which is connected to season one.” Fans of the show have come out in full force online rejoicing in the official announcement. However, their theories do not stop there. Many fans still go on speculating what the relation of the seasons could mean as an overarching picture. The most popular theory remains that the recurring cast members, which the show is famous for, are all deceased. This would mean that since the first season we have been traveling with them side-by-side as the face the separate circle of Hell. This theory not only remains a fan favorite but also seems to be supported by the most evidence as each season, at its core, revolves around one particular sin. Is there then room to speculate that there will be at least five more seasons of American Horror Story in the not-so-distant future? Nothing is for certain. However you can catch this most current season of the show Wednesdays at 9/8c on FX. Audiences will have to wait with baited breathe to see how their favorite horror mini series plays out and who will make it to the next season.
