Producers of "American Horror Story: Freak Show" are reportedly freaking out because a very important script was stolen from the New Orleans set. According to TMZ, someone nabbed the pages after an actor or actress on the series accidentally left it lying around.
Producers are now worried that a major spoiler involving Pepper could drop any day now. TMZ reports that the person who stole the script is trying to sell the material to the highest offer but so far no one's taken it.
The site describes the scene as "critical" and claims that it tells the story of how Pepper landed up in Briarcliff Manor in season two's Asylum." In other words, the material reveals how the second season is connected to the current fourth season.
Ryan Murphy previously teased that all the seasons of "American Horror Story" are connected and "we're just beginning to tell how they're connected."
"They're all very separate but there's clues every season that we're now telling you how the different worlds are intertwined," he told Entertainment Weekly. "There are purposeful connections, character connections, and similarities and things that connect that we'll continue to connect moving forward."
This season Murphy brought back Pepper and Sister Mary Eunice (played by Lily Rabe), two of the main characters from the second season.
"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," Murphy told EW. "Hopefully by the end of the run, be it 10 years or 15 years, people will be able to stand back and be able to say, 'Oh that was connected to x.'"
"There's definitely a rhyme or a reason and a connectedness to all of these seasons, but in the same way, they're standalones," he added.
As far as the stolen script, execs told TMZ that "it's a very serious matter and we will take all appropriate steps necessary to vigorously protect our intellectual property."
