All-Star Cast of AHS: Coven

American Horror Story, throughout all of its seasons, has had a particularly all-star cast for a dramatic tv series.



With show runners Jessica Lange and Zachary Quinto in the first season, many viewers were instantly drawn into the series. With any new tv show, stars are needed to attract viewers, and gaining Quinto fresh out of Star Trek and Heroes was a fantastic choice on the casting director's part.



With Season 2: Asylum's introduction however, the casting has to be revamped to keep their audience. And that's exactly when one of the strangest casting choices for a tv series was made: They cast superstar singer Adam Levine as an investigative photographer! Casting the head of hit show The Voice while it was on air and popular boosted ratings and viewership considerably.

With more additions such as Joseph Fiennes along with a good deal of the original cast, Season 2 nailed the casting once again.

Now with the introduction of Season 3: Coven, AHS had to step it up even further. How to do that? Well a multi Academy Award-winning actress would be a good start. Kathy Bates, famous for such films as Misery and Waterboy, was cast as a witch in the newest incarnation of the series, once again attracting the attention of many viewers, old and new.

With some of the boldest casting choices on tv, American Horror Story remains interesting, creepy, and well-acted!
