'American Horror Story' Season 7: Is Sarah Paulson Reprising Her 'Coven' Role?

One of Sarah Paulson's most iconic American Horror Story characters may be returning for Season 7! During PaleyFest LA's TV panel on Sunday, the actress was asked which role she'd like to reprise from the FX series. “Probably Cordelia. We only got to see her just getting her powers,” Paulson coyly said of her Coven character. “I just would like to know if the power might have been something that kind of changed her. Maybe we’ll get to see that.”

Cordelia Foxx was the ultimate Supreme and headmistress at Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies in AHS Season 3. Her mother Fiona Goode (memorably played by Jessica Lange) was thought to be the Supreme witch, but viewers learned it was Cordelia all along. If true, this would be the second time Paulson will reprise a role. In Season 6's Roanoke finale, her Asylum character Lana Winters made a surprise return.
