Speaking at the premiere of his new show “The Shards,” Murphy revealed to Entertainment Tonight: “Everybody thinks it’s a ‘Coven’ season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons.”

He continued, “So Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters, and of course Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd. It’s like the Avengers! They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
