Season one, Murder House, revolves around the Harmon family, who move into a house with a history of brutal murders and demonic acts. Ben Harmon's (Dylan McDermott) adultery haunts him while his wife Vivien (Connie Britton) also experiences strange encounters, from both the living and the dead.
Season two is titled Asylum and begins in 1964 in Briarcliff Manor, a fictional mental hospital. Run by Sister Jude Martin (Jessica Lange) and Sister Mary Eunice McKee (Lily Rabe), the institution treats criminally insane patients, which include a journalist, a serial killer and an alleged murderer.
Season three, titled Coven, follows young descendants of the Salem Witch coven who are sent to Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans.

Some of the students include Zoe Benson (Taissa Farmiga), who can induce brain hemorrhaging in any man by having sex with him; Madison Montgomery (Emma Roberts), a telekinetic and former child actor; Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), who has the power to inflict wounds on others by harming herself; and Nan (Jamie Brewer), a clairvoyant who can hear other people's thoughts.
Season four, Freak Show, is set in Florida in 1952 and follows the lives of the last remaining group of freak show performers. Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange) is the owner and her troupe includes bearded lady Ethel Darling (Kathy Bates), her lobster-handed son Jimmy Darling (Evan Peters) and three-breasted hermaphrodite Desiree Dupree (Angela Bassett). The new members of the troupe are conjoined sisters Bette and Dot Tattler (Sarah Paulson).
Season five, titled Hotel, takes place in the Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, which is now owned by fashion designer Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson). Demons, ghosts and other creatures haunt the hotel.

Elizabeth/The Countess (Lady Gaga) and her lover Donovan (Matt Bomer), his mother Iris (Kathy Bates) and transgender bartender Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) are some of the residents often seen at the hotel. As the season unfolds, the backstories of several characters are linked to past seasons.
