So, what did everyone think of the “American Horror Story: Coven” finale? Personally, I’m ready to look ahead to next season, and so is exec producer Ryan Murphy, who teased a few tidbits about the upcoming Seasons 4 and 5…

In his typical post-mortem chat with EW following last night’s reveal of the new Supreme (be sure to hit the link below for all the gory details), Murphy revealed the following about what’s ahead for fans of the show:

Can you say anything about who’s returning next year definitely?
RM: I don’t wanna say because we haven’t even started the deals, and I literally just locked this thing on Monday. I’m meeting with people too and the writers haven’t even started yet.

Do you still think next season will be darker?
RM: Hmmmm. I don’t know what to say. It’s a combination of things. It’s a combination of two time periods, with the main one being the 1950s. I don’t know. We haven’t started writing it yet, so I don’t really know the tone. I like that we had a lot of comedy in this year, and I like the comic characters, so I think that will remain… Next year will be equally as challenging [as “Coven” was] because so much of it is period and bizarre and crazy and Gothic. My feeling is, if you loved this season, you’ll love next season. It has the same sort of comedic tone to it.

People seem to really want American Horror Story: Circus.
RM: I saw those posters. I don’t know where people came up with that idea. Sometimes I think its people wanting us to do topics and doing fan posters. No one has completely guessed what it is.

But you already know what Season 5 is?
RM: I do, because it’s a radically different idea from the stuff we’ve been doing and it will take a lot of playing.

We should be learning more about Season 4 shortly so stay tuned! For more info in the meantime, visit the show’s Facebook page and Twitter feed along with “American Horror Story” on FX.
