''American Horror Story'' is an American horror television series created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Described as an anthology series, each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a disparate set of characters, settings, and a storyline with its own beginning, middle, and end. However, Murphy has stated that all of the seasons are and will be connected by the end of the series. The first season, subtitled ''Murder House'', takes place during 2011 in Los Angeles, California and centers on a family that moves into a house haunted by its deceased former occupants. The second season, subtitled ''Asylum'', takes place during 1964 in Massachusetts and follows the stories of the inmates and staff of an institution for the criminally insane. The third season, subtitled ''Coven'', takes place during 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana and follows a coven of witches who face off against those who wish to destroy them. The fourth season, subtitled ''Freak Show'', takes place during 1952 in Jupiter, Florida and focuses on one of the last remaining freak shows in America and its struggle to survive. The fifth season, subtitled ''Hotel'', takes place during 2015 in Los Angeles, California and centers on the unusual occurrences and people of a mysterious and outdated hotel. While few actors have made appearances in each season of the series, numerous actors appear in two, three, or four seasons, and many have only appeared in one season. Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Lily Rabe are the only actors to appear in every season of the series. Jessica Lange, Denis O'Hare, and Frances Conroy have appeared in four out of the five seasons, while Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Jamie Brewer, and Mare Winningham have all appeared in three seasons. Actors who have appeared in two seasons include Taissa Farmiga, Dylan McDermott, Zachary Quinto, Chloë Sevigny, Finn Wittrock, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, Alexandra Breckenridge, Ben Woolf, Anthony Ruivivar, Christine Estabrook, Matt Ross, Robin Bartlett, John Cromwell, Naomi Grossman, Danny Huston, Gabourey Sidibe, Grace Gummer, James DuMont, and John Carroll Lynch. Although each season is set in a different time period, there have been characters who have appeared in multiple seasons. Sister Mary Eunice McKee (Rabe), Dr. Arthur Arden (James Cromwell as old Arden; John Cromwell as young Arden), Pepper (Grossman), Marcy (Estabrook), and Dr. Charles Montgomery (Ross) are the only five characters to appear in more than one season of the series. All of the mentioned characters appear and reappear in ''Asylum'' and ''Freak Show'', except Marcy and Dr. Montgomery, who makes appearances in ''Murder House'' and ''Hotel'', respectively. Murphy has stated that as the series progresses, more and more characters will be making a return to the show. ==Notable cast members== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of American Horror Story characters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
