Denis O’Hare returning to American Horror Story

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

One of the many cool things about "American Horror Story" is how actors and actresses from previous seasons are brought back for the new seasons, playing all-new characters but bringing a sense of familiarity to the show with their memorable performances. Over the weekend Ryan Murphy took to Twitter to announce that another fan-favorite from the successful first season will be returning to join the cast of "American Horror Story: Coven" later this year.

You may remember O'Hare as Larry "The Burn Guy" Harvey on "American Horror Story's" first season, a performance so chilling that it earned the actor an Emmy nomination. He joins perennial returnee Evan Peters as the only male actors announced thus far for "Coven".

"American Horror Story: Coven" comes at us in October on FX with a cast that includes Frances Conroy, Taissa Farmiga, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Gabourey Sidibe, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, and Patti Lupone.
