Designers modernize classic tropes

Lou Eyrich and Catherine Crabtree co-styled the series to move away from cackling wicked witches with pointed hats. The team focused on balancing texture and shape while maintaining an all-black color palette for every character. They added personalized details to capes to distinguish each person within the witchy puzzle.

Season pulls from past installments

The new season is positioned as a greatest hits collection that draws heavily from the previous Coven installment. Returning cast members include Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Emma Roberts alongside other stars from the franchise. The production aims to show how the fashionable witch archetype has evolved over time.
