American Horror Story Season 2 Discussion *Potential Spoilers*

Figured it deserved a thread of it's own at this point. Since the Season 1 Finale, there have been a couple articles released with speculation on where the show is going for Season 2.

*Obviously at this point if you haven't seen Season 1, you'll want to exit stage right. You've been forewarned.*





You can read the initial NYMag.com article posted by purplepylon in the Season 1 Finale thread here.

The following MSNBC article with quotes from creator and Executive Producer, Ryan Murphy, goes more indepth on what to expect..

Just some juicy tidbits from the article:

New Location: "What you saw in the finale was the end of the Harmon house. The second season of the show will be a brand-new home or building to haunt," Murphy said. "Just like this year, every season of this show will have a beginning, middle and end. [The second season] won't be in L.A. It will obviously be in America, but in a completely different locale."

New Theme: This season's theme was infidelity, and season two will also have an overlying theme running through the episodes. "The season we're planning now is very different from the California house approach," Murphy revealed. Now here comes the cool part: "There is a clue in the last three episodes where we resay what the next season will be about." Get to searching, "AHS" fans! And since the new season will have a new building and location, the opening credit sequence will change as well, but Ryan said he will be "hopefully" using the same artist who created season one's incredibly chilling sequence.

Speculation on new location? I'm thinking it could be based on the hauntings in Roanoke, after all Constance is from Virginia so maybe we'll still get a healthy dose of her (or her former self) too?

Movie Stars: Because the shooting schedule of "AHS" is much like a movie commitment (three months or so), and because each season will bring new castmembers, Murphy has targeted film actors who he's wanted to work with to join the cast of season two. He reasons that since they'll only be attached to the show for one season, he can bring on people who have film careers so they won't be locked down for five seasons. "This allows for those who haven't done television to step up and say 'let's do this,'" said Murphy. "I've been getting a lot of calls from film actors who have wanted to dabble in television but never could figure out how."

This. Is. Awesome.

The potential for this show just shot through the roof if they can nail down some great actors. Super excited.
