'American Horror Story' Seasons Are Connected, Ryan Murphy Reveals

Hey, all you "American Horror Story" conspiracy theorists: turns out you were right!

Ryan Murphy has confirmed that all seasons of "American Horror Story" not only exist in the same universe, but they're also all connected.

"They're all connected. We're just beginning to tell you how they're connected," Murphy told EW.com. "They're all very separate but there's clues every season that we're now telling you how the different worlds are intertwined."

This news comes after it was revealed that both Pepper and Sister Mary Eunice from the "Asylum" season would be appearing in this year's "Freak Show" season.

Murphy says that each season has had and will have connections to each other, but some of them might not be apparent until much later in the show's run, which Murphy hopes to be "10 years or 15 years."

"The interesting thing about doing a show like this is every season is incredibly its own story and its own beginning, middle and end," Murphy said. "Its own journey. But we have always from the very beginning in the intertwining mythologies and how things connect. This is the first year where we begin to tell you that season two is connected to season four which is connected to season one...there's definitely a rhyme or a reason and a connectedness to all of these seasons, but in the same way, they're standalones, which is the fun of it. But it is a puzzle. And Lily coming back and dealing with Pepper is sort of the first unveiling of that connectedness."

The fun thing is that each season exists in different decades and different locations, but with the same actors playing many roles. This has lead some fans to wonder if these characters are actually supposed to be the same person, at least in spirit.

Murphy claims that some of the fan theories he's read online are "completely right," so we'll just have to wait to find out which ones!
