After focusing on ghosts and a mental institution for its first two seasons, American Horror Story will be heavy on witches and witchcraft for its third season, as Coven will tell the story of the last remaining witches in America. Forced underground following the Salem Witch Trials, they’ve remained there with the intent of being as secretive about their lifestyle as they can, lest incidents like the one in Massachusetts become normalcy and drive their people into extinction. However, a string of mysterious attacks forces the witches to go on the defensive and pool a crew of their young into a New Orleans academy with the intention of teaching them how to defend themselves and how to control their powers. With the Supreme making the trek to the Big Easy, will they manage to control the threat against them and emerge stronger and smarter as a result?

The third season of American Horror Story is set to premiere Wednesday, October 9th at 10:00 on FX. You can check out every teaser released thus far here, as well as key art of the series here and here.

But there’s one member of the academy carrying a secret that could threaten not only her own personal safety, but the safety of every witch remaining in the country and the very future of the coven itself.
