FX ‘American Horror Story’ Creator Ryan Murphy Confirms Connected Seasons with ‘Asylum’ Pepper Natalie Grossman and Sister Mary Eunice Join ‘Freak Show’ [SPOILERS]

FX’s hit anthology series, American Horror Story just got a whole lot deeper. It was recently revealed that all the seasons are connected to each other in what we are calling the American Horrorverse. This season was the very first one to feature crossover characters with Natalie Grossman’s Pepper from Asylum showing up in the Freak Show. Creator Ryan Murphy has now revealed that Lily Rabe is getting back in the habit as Sister mary Eunice.

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy recently spoke Entertainment Weekly about intertwining the seasons:

“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...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.”

Well that settles it, It is now time to re-watch Seasons 1 & 2. Good thing they are now available on Hulu Plus.

Not only does season feature the return of Natalie Grossman’s character Pepper, but the good nun, Sister Mary Eunice,(Lily Rabe) will also show up:

“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. 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!”
