So far each season — employing a core, rotating cast of actors — has been given its own title and distinct storyline.

Entertainment Weekly revealed that Freak Show will take place in 1950 in Jupiter, Florida and will feature AHS veteran Jessica Lange as a “German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S.”

Her “freaks” will be played by returning stars Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy. EW reports that Denis O’Hare and Emma Roberts are also in talks to return to the show.
