American Horror Story star Jessica Lange has said she disliked AHS: Coven despite it being the most popular season of the FX franchise to date, and she might be right with her criticism. When quizzed in 2019 about the four years she spent as American Horror Story's leading lady, the Oscar-winning actress admitted that the witch-themed season is her least favorite when compared to the other three seasons of the show in which she starred. This revelation generated discourse on social media for weeks and led to audiences questioning whether or not Coven is the best season of AHS after all.
Following her portrayal of the scene-stealing Constance Langdon in Murder House, as well as the sinful Sister Jude in Asylum, Jessica Lange returned to play «glamour cat» Fiona Borgia Vandenheuvel Goode in Coven. Anointed the Supreme Witch at a relatively young age after passing the tests of the Seven Wonders, imbued with powers superior to those of her peers, Fiona is a powerful-yet-negligent leader who is rarely seen dressed in anything other than black couture. In 2013, she returns to Miss Robichaux's Academy in New Orleans, now run by her daughter and soon-to-be successor, to both rally the descendants of Salem against outside forces and, once she learns that she's dying of cancer, to identify (and perhaps eliminate) her successor. The season ends with Fiona slipping away into a hellish afterlife, passing on the status of Supreme to Cordelia Goode, her daughter.
