Coven tells the story of a rag-tag coven of witches studying at Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans in American Horror Story season 3. They must fight for the survival of their kind and select a new leader after the death of their current Supreme. As this season takes place early in the series' run, it didn't connect to any previous seasons of the show upon initial release. However, it laid the foundation for connecting to three future seasons of American Horror Story after airing. Since the show is deeply rooted in the supernatural, the coven ends up being an important fixture in American Horror Story lore moving forward.
