8 American Horror Story Characters Who Have Appeared on More Than 1 Season

Seasons: Asylum, Freak Show

Pepper (Naomi Grossman) earns the distinction of being the first character to cross over between seasons. The microcephalic woman first appears on Asylum as an inmate, er, patient at Briarcliff Manor. Later, she turns up as one of Elsa's troupe members on Freak Show, which actually takes place before Asylum. Her arc on Freak Show explains that she ends up in Briarcliff because her sister and brother-in-law frame her for the murder of their baby.
