Character details are few and far between, but we do know that Kathy Bates is the latest opponent of whomever Jessica Lange is playing. The face-offs between those two will be worth waiting for I'm sure. We also know that Sarah Paulson is apparently playing a much more sinister character this time out which is a huge relief after seeing what her Lana Winters went through last season--though she did wind up the heroine of Asylum. This is something that American Horror Story has been missing, a true female baddie. Sure, you could say that Constance Langdon fit that bill back in season one but I'm talking about someone with power who uses it and enjoys it. No sappy tragic back-stories--let's just have a kickass evil female character this year that likes causing hell.

It's wonderful to see James Cromwell, Zachary Quinto, and Lily Rabe finally get in on the awards action after delivering some truly fantastic performances last season. Let's hope at least one of these mentions trickles down into Golden Globes or Emmy Awards nominations.
What are your hopes for American Horror Story:Coven? Who do you think some of these cast-members might be playing and why on Earth are we not seeing a few more S1 only actors returning (looking at you Denis O'Hare and Alexandra Breckenridge)?
