Why? Because they've added 2 of my very fave actors...Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates!!

Gabourey Sidibe is also joining the cast...With Jessica it can't possibly be any better!

...the actresses talked about the characters they’re playing:

Bassett: “Well, I play Marie Laveau. It’s been interesting, being in New Orleans, because there’s such a regard and respect for who she was. She lived to about 80 years old, and she was a very influential person in the city. My character is based loosely on her.”

Bates: “My Southern accent has come roaring back. Now that that cat is out of the bag, one of the things I enjoyed reading about Madame LaLaurie is that my great-great-grandfather came from Dublin to New Orleans in the 1830s, and he became personal physician to Andrew Jackson. And I read in the book on LaLaurie that his plantation was next door to theirs. So, I was very curious to know whether my grandfather ever met her because I think he would have been there just before she left. I thought that was interesting.”

I'm also looking forward to Coven. The last season was great! I hope this season is as good. Should be with all the talent on the show.

I haven't watch this show since season 1................maybe it is time I pick it back up.

When Angela was on Arsenio (looking FUCKING AMAZING) she talked about this and I was geeked!

I love her and I only have seen ads for this series never watched it, but I will be ALL OVER this joint this time around.

Kathy Bates will surely win an emmy for playing a psycho woman who tortures her slaves.

Somebody catch me up.

The last time I saw this show, the wife was pregnant by the kid/ghost next door.

That is all I remember.

Each season is a totally different story, new characters, new setting and everything. They tend to keep a core of some of the same actors but that's the only continuity. There have only been 2 seasons, this is the third.

I've enjoyed both seasons so far but I'm REALLY looking forward to this one.

Ok. Thanks.

I liked season 1 and 2 was ok. I watched mainly because of Zachary Quinto. But this season from what I've read looks so good!

I liked season 1 a lot, season 2 was sometimes a little bit too evil. I know it's "Horror", but there were situations i really didnt't need to see.

I'm sooo pumped! Awesome new and returning cast members. Intriguing setting. GREAT art!

I absolutely love the posters!

Is there really only TWO guys in the cast?

I thought it was great to see Dylan McDermott is Season 2 - even if he was uncredited.

I was hoping he'd be making an appearance in Season 3 too...

More Dylan would be nice, but he's a feature cast member of the new series "Hostages."

Happy to see Evan Peters and especially Denis O'hare return, though.

Jessica didn't win.

Tonight!!!!

Live stream for those who can't watch Coven on TV...

Loved it

"Don't make me drop a house on you!"

I will have to catch episodes On Demand. Unfortunately, it airs at 11:00 PM in my time zone. That sucks and I don't know what audience they are trying to appeal to with that airing time. It's on too late for kids, in the middle of the week on a "school night," and most adults have jobs and work the next morning. I hope it can do well in the ratings... I am excited for it!

Unfortunately you may be right. As much as I love Kathy the first part of the episode was difficult for me to watch. I was feeling sick to my stomach.

I can just hope that Angela has some evil karma in store for her.

Dammit I missed it! I'll have to search on Demand. I can't keep up with all of these great non-reality shows this Fall that seem to be off the chain!

So Stevie Nicks is a witch?



I KNEW it!!!!

loooooooooooooving it. So, so much. Frances Conroy's 37 seconds in the first episode were freakijng amazing. Love her.

Loving the entire cast and characters so far.

It's gonna be a hell of a season.

I'm enjoying the show as well. Kathy Bates really knows how to play those sadistic, racist, psychotic characters well because she pisses me off royally.

The initial episode had a great beginning and great title sequence... then... not so great... not as good as the first two seasons' openers. Seemed downright flat when Bates is dug up. I hope it doesn't turn sloppy and lazy like "true blood". They need to keep up with hardcore horror references to past movies like the last two seasons, and keep that bad feeling going... don't get light like an x-men movie.

But it might get a lot better, will watch episode 2 tonight at some point. The last seasons did not disappoint with plots getting funny, sickening, and disturbing... all at the same time!
