Once again, the new season of American Horror Story has come flying out the gate. Freak Show is already arguably one of the best installments so far, and while Twisty might have been one of the creepiest clowns ever, don't get too sad over his demise, because according to co-creator Ryan Murphy he is too beloved to be gone for too long. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murphy also confirmed that Lily Rabe, of AHS: Asylum, will return as Sister Mary Eunice.
The way some characters come and go while others seem to shape-shift is no coincidence either. In fact, Murphy reveals that all the different seasons of AHS will ultimately be connected to one another.
He explained to EW:
"There's definitely a rhyme or a reason and a connectedness to all of these seasons, but in the same way, they're standalones, which is the fun of it. But it is a puzzle. They're all connected. We're just beginning to tell you how they're connected. They're all very separate but there's clues every season that we're now telling you how the different worlds are intertwined. And Lily coming back and dealing with Pepper is sort of the first unveiling of that connectedness. She's so great in that role, Lily. I understood she wanted to go off and do her own show. But I was thrilled she was able to come back and give us a couple days and show how Sister Mary Eunice and Pepper are connected and how it's all connected. I'm glad she's back in the habit!"
Knowing that each story has pieces that link it to other characters in previous seasons is really cool. That will allow Murphy and his equally talented team to take things in even more bizarre directions than fans might have already thought possible.
For right now, how do you think Sister Mary Eunice will fit in to Freak Show? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
