TV: Meet 10 Characters From “American Horror Story: Asylum”!!! New Season Also Has Aliens?
Finally! Now we get to meet the characters of “American Horror Story: Asylum”! EW got their hands on 10 stills featuring the primary cast in character and, for my money, it looks more interesting that Season 1. Also – it’ll feature Aliens? Per the article, ““aliens, Nazis, and a serial killer named Bloody Face who wears a mask made out of his victims skin along with black nightie and opera length gloves.”
Starting on October 17th, only on FX, the new season is set at an East Coast asylum for the criminally insane in 1964, and revolves around Jessica Lange’s new character — a nun — and her boss at the institution, played by James Cromwell. Clea Duvall, Chris Zylka, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, The Voice’s Adam Levine, Mark Consuelos and newcomer Lizzie Brochere round out the cast. Other returning cast members set to play new roles include Sarah Paulson, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters and Lily Rabe.
The first installment of “American Horror Story” earned 17 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, tying for the most of any program this year and setting a record for the most Emmy nominations for a miniseries in basic cable history. Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Dante Di Loreto and Tim Minear are Executive Producers of “American Horror Story: Asylum.” It is produced by 20th Fox Television.
Head inside for the pics!
Adam Levine plays Leo, a newlywed visiting modern-day Briarcliff with his wife.
Jenna Dewan Tatum plays Teresa, Adam Levine’s wife.
Lily Rabe plays Sister Eunice.
Joseph Fiennes plays Monsignor Timothy O’Hara. Jessica Lange’s character is crushing on him, but I don’t see it working out.
Chloë Sevigny plays nymphomaniac inmate Shelley.
Sarah Paulson plays lesbian journalist Lana, who is committed to the asylum by her own girlfriend after she nearly exposes Briarcliff’s darkest secrets.
Evan Peters plays Kit, an inmate who claims his wife was abducted by aliens.
Jessica Lange plays Sister Jude. We told you about her above the jump.
Zachary Quinto plays Dr. Thredson, “a psychiatrist whose forward-thinking ways conflict with Sister Jude’s management style.”
James Cromwell plays Dr. Arden. Per EW, “the not-so-good doctor is behind one of the season’s newest frights: the Raspers. The mutated humans lurk in the forest outside of the institution and are a product of Arden’s diabolical experiments on Briarcliff’s inmates. Arden may or may not be a Nazi.“
