As production on the third season of "American Horror Story" kicks off, interviews from the cast and crew enlighten fans on what it's like to work on the show and provide insight on what to expect from the forthcoming season, titled "Coven."
E! Online recently caught up with series favorite Zachary Quinto, who has not yet been confirmed to star in the third season. Although the popular "American Horror Story" actor has not been asked to appear in "Coven," which centers around a heavily female witch cast, he claims that he would be willing to do so if asked.
"I'm actually going to do a play on Broadway in the Fall," Quinto said. "But the nature of [American Horror Story] is such that I'm sure Ryan [Murphy] could call and say, 'Could you fly down on your day off and do one episode?' And if he does, I would always be open to that, but we haven't had any conversations. So as of now I'm not planning to be a part of it."
One of the returning "American Horror Story" stars, Sarah Paulson, opened up to Hollywood Reporter about how her character in "Coven" will differ from that of season 2, titled "Asylum."
"Definitely different. Basically, she's going to look different, and my relationship to Jessica Lange is going to be quite different this time," Paulson said. "At the beginning of last season, no one knew that Lana would be the hero, so it's possible I could end up the evil one this year. As of right now, there will be some of Lana Winters' qualities in my character, but I don't know for sure."
In "Asylum," Paulson plays Lana Winters, a lesbian journalist out to expose an immoral mental institution. Jessica Lange, the facility's matriarch, uses Lana's sexuality against her and submits her to electroshock therapy, and the torture doesn't stop there. At the end of the season, a 75-year-old Lana becomes the institution's final survivor.
"American Horror Story: Coven" will premiere on FX this fall.
