'American Horror Story' Season 3 Premiere: 'Initiation' Trailer Released Featuring Official Cast [VIDEO]
A new trailer for American Horror Story: Coven was released Tuesday featuring the cast of the new season.
The 30-second trailer, titled Initiation, features most of the regular cast with the classic song House of the Rising Sun playing in the background. Several women wearing hats and dressed in black walked up the entrance to a mansion. Among them are numerous recognizable actresses including Taissa Farmiga and Jamie Brewer, who were featured in the show's first season. Gabourey Sidibe (Precious) and series regular Lily Rabe are also in the video.
Series regular Evan Peters watches from a window in the mansion as Sarah Paulson greets the women at the door with a look of nervousness on her face. To get into the mansion, the women step over an unknown hybrid of ram and human lying on the ground.
As the women enter the house, there three very tall women dressed in black to greet them. The trio of women covered their faces with masks but soon reveal themselves to be Angela Bassett, Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates.
Peters' character is still unknown at this time but the trailer suggests that he could be sharing some screen time with the other characters in the mansion.
American Horror Story: Coven stars Lange as Fiona, the Supreme leader of a group of Salem witches that have flocked to New Orleans. When she hears that her coven of witches is gradually dying, she comes into town and goes against anyone trying to persecute the coven.
