I'll be chucking up the OT on the 7th of October
You just reminded me actually - the first episode "synopsis" has been posted. It's not exhaustive by any means (I can't see this filling a whole episode) but I'll post it just in case. Obviously, spoilers.
Reading this - you will find out: -
Same actors, but not the same stories.
Evan Peters is back... and dating the dead girl from Season 1?
Oh lordy, prepare for "I FUCKED YOUR MOM" round two!

Reading this - you will find out: -
- First look at Madame LaLaurie's scene
- The reason why Zoe moves and enrols in Robichaux's Academy
- The back story of the witches (not so much the voodoo)
- The fellow witches (Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe and Jamie Brewer) and their powers.
- The "lore" and mythology of AHS: Coven's witches.
- Fiona's main motives for both herself and the girls at the academy
- Madame LaLaurie's connection to the voodoo
1834. New Orleans. The evil and perverse Madame LaLaurie, who bathes in the blood of others in an attempt to stay young, punishes a servant for having been seduced by her daughter Pauline by transforming him into a beast... not by magic, but by far more gruesome means.
Today. Orlando, Florida. Teenaged Zoe Benson, upon losing her virginity, learns in a terribly horrific way that she's a witch. It runs in her family, who descended from the witches at Salem, but only manifests in some of her family, not all of it. None of the real witches at Salem were burned; they escaped suspicion and fled to New Orleans. Zoe is forcibly sent to a witches' boarding school there, Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, never to see her mother again. There, after a terrifying ordeal, she meets her new classmates: spoiled brat teenage movie star Madison Montgomery, who can move objects with her mind; the feisty Queenie, a human voodoo doll, who can inflict her wounds on the person who gave them to her; and Nan, who has Down's Syndrome... and is clairvoyant. Zoe also meets the Head Mistress, Cordelia Foxx, and mute, sullen butler Spalding. In its heyday, the school had over sixty students, but today witches are a dying breed. Zoe learns that most witches learn a few spells, but in each generation there is a "Supreme," who embodies countless magical "gifts" – perhaps all of them. But Cordelia also warns Zoe that their kind are still under threat of being persecuted and burned alive... like young Misty Day, who terrified the folks at her church when she discovered she could raise the dead.
We next meet Fiona, a wealthy witch obsessed with eternal youth, and frustrated that her attempts to obtain it – both scientific and magical – continually end in failure. She is Cordelia's mother, and they have a fraught history. While Cordelia wants to teach the girls to live peacefully, Fiona – who is the Supreme – wants to teach them to make the world fear them. Meanwhile, Madison takes Zoe to a frat party, where Zoe meets the sweet, grounded Kyle, but the other frat boys are not so kind – and will regret the horror they visit upon Madison. Later, Fiona takes the girls to visit the home of the legendary Madame LaLaurie, who, we learn, was killed by the Voodoo Queen as revenge for her murder of her lover... and Nan sees ominous portents of the future.

Do I need to watch seasons 1 and 2? I have been watching trailers and they all seem to be self contained or am I completely wrong? I remember watching the premiere of the first season but I never watched it again.
Same actors, but not the same stories.
