2* ActingForTwo: Sarah Paulson plays THREE separate characters: Billie from ''Murder House'', Cordelia from ''Coven'', and newcomer Venable. Taissa Farmiga plays both her ''Murder House'' character of Violet Harmon and her ''Coven'' character of Zoe Benson. Evan Peters plays Tate Langdon from ''Murder House'' and hairdresser Mr. Gallant, as well as Jeff and a brief appearance as James Patrick March from ''Hotel''. Joan Collins appears as Evie Gallant and as Bubbles [=McGee=]. Billy Eichner appears as Brock and Mutt. Frances Conroy appears as her ''Coven'' character Myrtle Snow as well as her ''Murder House'' character Moira O’Hara. Kathy Bates appears as Ms. Miriam Mead and cameos as her ''Coven'' character, Madame Delphine [=LaLaurie=].
3* ApprovalOfGod: Creator/RyanMurphy wholeheartedly approves of fans comparing this season to ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', due to the large ensemble cast, being a crossover and having world-ending stakes. Became full-blown AscendedFanon when Murphy used the caption of "AHS: Infinity War" [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bob-BshBEEj/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=o8ys1mdo1ur2 on his instagram for a post showing off the cast]].
4* DawsonCasting: 31-year-old Creator/EvanPeters and 24-year-old Creator/TaissaFarmiga reprise their roles as ageless teenage ghosts of the Murder House. YMMV on how much (or ''[[OlderThanTheyLook if]]'') either of them has aged since then.
5* DirectedByCastMember: Creator/SarahPaulson directed the sixth episode, "Return to Murder House."
6* EnforcedMethodActing: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bozk4ntlAJd/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1qj8ihooskg0j According to some who worked on "Boy Wonder"]], the actors' reactions to Music/StevieNicks's singing are genuine.
7* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: AHS rookie Cody Fern could ''so'' pass off as the child of Evan Peters and Connie Britton. The makeup department's decision to give him Vivien's and Tate's hair in his present and flashback scenes respectively emphasizes the resemblance even further.
8* StarMakingRole: Cody Fern as Michael Langdon.
9* ThrowItIn: The bit where [[spoiler:Cordelia tells Myrtle “I love you” before sacrificing herself]] wasn’t scripted. Creator/SarahPaulson improvised the line and was surprised that they left it in.
10* TrollingCreator: The showmakers, well-aware of [[Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCoven whom]] the fans are longing to show up this season, decided to use Music/FleetwoodMac[='s=] "Gold Dust Woman" in episode 2... only for this musical nod to go nowhere. [[spoiler: Until the third episode.]]
11* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/EvanPeters was initially announced to direct the final episode “Apocalypse Then” but for unknown reasons couldn’t so regular series director Bradley Buecker stepped in.
