Paulson did an interview with E! News just this week and she shared that her first reaction after she got the script was a solid, "Holy sh*t!" She gave a few hints about the upcoming season and said that it will be a hybrid between the two previous seasons, namely "Asylum" and "Coven."

EW confirmed that the new FX miniseries will be returning to the small screen in the fall. The setting will be in Jupiter Florida during the 1950s era. "American Horror Story", coined as AHS, locals Denis O'Hare, Emma Roberts, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Frances Conroy, and Angela Bassett will be returning to the season, with the addition of Michael Chiklis.
