American Horror Story Season 4 Preview: Freak Show Spoilers That Will Surely Spook You!

"American Horror Story: Freak Show" is the fourth season of Ryan Murphy's franchise horror anthology. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murphy said, "It's set in the 1950...It's a period piece..." and it takes place in Jupiter, Florida. It will revolve around one of the last remaining freak shows of the era. It will be a "super scary thrill ride...about a group of people...who are the last existing freak show in America...(and they are) desperate to stay together," he added.

Jessica Lange will be back but it will be her last season with American Horror Story. For Season 4, she will play the role of the German ex-patriate owner and manager of the freak show in the title. Sarah Paulson will be back as well and she will play one of the freaks - a two headed woman, of which one head is "Bette" and the other is "Dot." Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Jaime Brewer, Gabourney Sidibe, and Denis O'Hare will likewise return as regular members of next season's cast.

Joining the original cast members of the American Horror Story franchise are newcomers Michael Chiklis and Wes Bentley. Chiklis will be play a "strongman" in the freak show who is the father of Peters' character, the ex-husband of Bate's character and the current husband of Bassett's character. Wesley will play "Eddie," someone who is after revenge against Bate's character, in this season's two-part story arc for Halloween.

Filming for American Horror Story Season 4 starts this month in time for its schedule airing by fall at the FX network. In previous interviews, Murphy said "Freak Show" will have the same comedic tone as "Coven." He also confirmed the freak show will have a bearded lady and a terrifying clown.
