[TV] Contrary To Reports, Jessica Lange Is NOT Locked For “American Horror Story” Season 3

Without question the life-force behind the “American Horror Story” franchise is star Jessica Lange, who completely transformed herself for the ongoing second season where she plays a nun in a mental asylum.

And though FX has already announced that Lange is sticking with “American Horror Story” for season three, she admitted to Examiner that the extent of her involvement still depends on the specifics of the storyline and the character. She has yet to have time to really give thought to what she’d want to do next season. Stay tuned for confirmation… and know that without her, there really is no “AHS”.

“American Horror Story: Asylum” airs on FX on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m.

‘American Horror Story’ 2×07 Review: The Angel Of Death Visits Briarcliff And I Never Want Her To Leave

The first season of American Horror Story introduced me to a delightfully twisted world where literally anything goes. Season two seems to have upped the ante, even going so far as to add mutants, Nazis, and aliens (a sub-plot I haven’t grown too fond of, honestly). “Dark Cousin” continued this trend by bringing the angel of death into the mix, played by the always lovely Frances Conroy, who I’ve been madly in love with since seeing her in Six Feet Under. So let’s let loose our big, black wings and do a barrel roll into the mad world of American Horror Story: Asylum.

[TV] “American Horror Story” Renewed For Season 3! Jessica Lange To Return! What Should It Be Called?

Considering how well American Horror Story: Asylum,” is performing, and how enthusiastic the response has been from fans, it should come as no surprise that it’s been renewed for a third season. It should also come as no surprise that Jessica Lange will be back. In fact, I’d imagine that at least a few members of the ensemble will be returning seeing as many of them bridged the gap from Season 1 to “Asylum” already. Production of the untitled new cycle of AHS will begin next summer and premiere in the fall of 2013.

The first season 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. Do you think the current season has a similar shot at glory?

Now here’s where we begin the guessing game. Where do you think the next season will take place? What location and time period? Who else should return? Since it will be an all-new plot again, what do you think the new season should be called? “American Horror Story: ???”

In the episode, ““A violent storm hits Briarcliff, allowing a group of patients to plan a daring escape. Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) is haunted by her past.” It was written by Jennifer Salt and directed by Michael Uppendahl. Actually the teaser isn’t new so much as it doesn’t have an obnoxious Budweiser ad taking up half the screen. I posted half of it last night.

And the Playlist also got some pics of Hugh Dancy as Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as the titular character of NBC’s “Hannibal“. In the show, “Will Graham is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham’s unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he’s pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership, and it seems there’s no villain they can’t catch. If Will only knew…
