American Horror Story title screen.

American Horror Story is an American horror television series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Described as an anthology series, [by whom?] each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a disparate set of characters, settings, and a storyline with its own beginning, middle, and end. However, Murphy has stated that all of the seasons are and will be connected by the end of the series. [citation needed]

The first season, subtitled Murder House, takes place during 2011 in Los Angeles, California and centers on a family that moves into a house haunted by its deceased former occupants. The second season, subtitled Asylum, takes place during 1964 in Massachusetts and follows the stories of the inmates and staff of an institution for the criminally insane. The third season, subtitled Coven, takes place during 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana and follows a coven of witches who face off against those who wish to destroy them. The fourth season, subtitled Freak Show, takes place during 1952 in Jupiter, Florida and focuses on one of the last remaining freak shows in America and its struggle to survive. The fifth season, subtitled Hotel, takes place during 2015 in Los Angeles, California and centers on the unusual occurrences and people of a mysterious and outdated hotel. The sixth, subtitled Roanoke, takes place in 2014 in North Carolina, and follows a documentary of experiences endured by a couple and one of their relatives while living on Roanoke Island followed by reenactments, and, in 2016, follows the real experiences on the Island of the couple and the reenactors of the documentary. The seventh season, subtitled Cult, takes place between 2016 and 2018 in the fictional city of Brookfield Heights, Michigan, and centers around a clown cult terrorizing a neighborhood suburb in the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. election. The eighth season, subtitled Apocalypse, takes place in the near future and centers on a group of survivors in a radiation shelter, after ICBMs destroy the world's major cities.

Although each season is set in a different time period, there have been characters who have appeared in multiple seasons. Pepper (Naomi Grossman), Sister Mary Eunice McKee (Lily Rabe), Hans Gruper (John Cromwell), Marcy (Christine Estabrook), Dr. Charles Montgomery (Matt Ross), Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), Billie Dean Howard (Sarah Paulson), Lana Winters (Paulson), Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch), Michael Langdon (Asher Gian Starita, Cody Fern), Cordelia Goode (Paulson), Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts), Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy), Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga), James Patrick March (Evan Peters), Misty Day (Rabe), Stevie Nicks (herself) and Mr. Kingery (Wayne Pére) are the 18 characters who have appeared in more than one season of the series: Pepper, Sister Mary Eunice, and Hans appear in Asylum and Freak Show; Marcy, Dr. Montgomery, and Billie make appearances in Murder House and Hotel; Queenie appears in Coven, Hotel and Apocalypse; Lana appears in Asylum and Roanoke (and is mentioned in Cult); Twisty appears in Freak Show and Cult. Michael appears in both Murder House and Apocalypse. Cordelia, Madison, Zoe, Misty, Myrtle, Kingery and Stevie appear in Coven and Apocalypse. James appears in Hotel and Apocalypse. Also six characters are set to appear in Apocalypse after appearing in Murder House: Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange), Billie Dean Howard (Paulson), Vivien Harmon (Connie Britton), Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott), Tate Langdon (Peters), and Violet Harmon (Farmiga). Murphy has stated that as the series progresses, more and more characters will be making a return to the show. [citation needed]
