The upcoming second season/installment of FX’s horror series/miniseries “American Horror Story” will be titled “American Horror Story: Asylum,” co-creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy announced today, reports DL.

Set in 1964, “American Horror Story: Asylum” stars Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Zachary Quinto, James Cromwell, and Joseph Fiennes.

Principal photography on “AHS: Asylum” started on July 17 for an October premiere.

“We picked ‘Asylum’ because it not only describes the setting – an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange’s character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward – but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted,” Murphy said. “This year’s theme is about sanity and tackling real life horrors.”

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.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine was monkeying around on the set of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s “American Horror Story“ asylum, and Murphy decided to snap a twitpic. I have no idea how “bloody face” will figure into the show though.

Second Season Of “American Horror Story” Gets In The Habit With Jessica Lange

Some more details about the second season of “American Horror Story” are beginning to emerge. We already knew that Jessica Lange, Joseph Fiennes, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Adam Levine, Lizzie Brochere, Chloe Sevigny and James Cromwell has all been locked in, with the returning cast playing new roles. Murphy had also disclosed that the season would be “set in an institution for the criminally insane.” Fiennes’ character runs said institution where Jessica Lange works and will also be the object of her attraction as it’s been stated that “the pair have a May/December romance.”

Writer Tim Minear told MTV, “she’s playing something that’s a little more East Coast, a little more patrician. She’s playing a nun. In this instance, she’s a bride of Christ.” Conflict I guess!

Murphy has been talking a lot about how this season will be different from the last. He previously stated “I don’t want to say what Zach and Lily are doing, or what anybody else is doing, until we get closer to [fall]. But I’ll continue to say that everybody is playing the opposite of what they played last year, which I think is why they’re all so into it. Like, I have talked to Zach and Jessica and they were very excited… and that’s a rare thing.” READ MORE

“American Horror Story“ apparently isn’t done populating the asylum at the center of its upcoming second season.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Britne Oldford, best known for her role as moody, pill-popping Cadie in MTV’s “Skins,” is joining the FX hit in the recurring role of Alma. A description of Alma was not made available, but conventional wisdom points to her being one of the patients holed up at the institution for the criminally insane run by Jessica Lange.

Other new faces on tap for Season 2 of the FX hit include “Big Love”‘s Chloe Sevigny, “The Voice”‘s Adam Levine, French actress Lizzie Brochere, “FlashForward”‘s Joseph Fiennes and Oscar nominee James Cromwell, while Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe — who in Season 1 played Constance, Chad, Tate, psychic Billie Dean and doctor’s wife Nora — are all set to return but as different characters.

“Everybody is playing the opposite of what they played last year,” “Horror Story” co-creator Ryan Murphy recently told TVLine, “which I think is why they’re all so into it.” READ MORE

TV: Ryan Murphy Talks An Opposite World For “American Horror Story” Season 2

“American Horror Story” show creator Ryan Murphy has been getting a bit more giddy in public about the secrets he has in store for the upcoming season of the hit show. Even though he’s not really giving anything away, he’s definitely doing a good job of selling the concept. I have to say, I’m kind of intrigued by the narrative freedom that might be afforded by transporting the main cast into brand new characters in a brand new setting.

We already knew that Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Adam Levine, Lizzie Brochere, Chloe Sevigny and James Cromwell have all been locked in, with the returning cast playing new roles. And Murphy had also disclosed that the season would be “set in an institution for the criminally insane that Jessica Lange’s character runs.”

Murphy now tells TV Line, “I don’t want to say what Zach and Lily are doing, or what anybody else is doing, until we get closer to [fall]. But I’ll continue to say that everybody is playing the opposite of what they played last year, which I think is why they’re all so into it. Like, I have talked to Zach and Jessica and they were very excited… and that’s a rare thing.” But in keeping with the “opposite” theme, does that mean Peters, who in Season 1 played the rather evil Tate, will be the new chapter’s hero? “Knowing me it will be the anti-hero,” Murphy teases. “It won’t be what you expect.”

I’m interested to see where Murphy takes the third season, which he already has planned out as well. “American Horror Story” returns to FX this fall. READ MORE

TV: ‘American Horror Story’ Season 2 Gets Hot Psycho French Actress (Whom Gets Nude A Lot)

Some fresh “American Horror Story“ casting comes via TVLine who writes after an exhaustive search that spanned multiple continents, French actress Lizzie Brocheré has won the pivotal new series regular role on the FX thriller.

Last month, “AHS” producers put out a casting call for a femme fatale named “Gia.” Described as a fierce, ferocious, extremely sexual and dangerous wild-child sexpot, the character — billed as a nemesis for Jessica Lange — was likened to Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted.

According to an insider, Brocheré — known in France for her decidedly NC-17-rated film work(!) — will be playing a revamped version of that role. “The part been changed considerably,” says the source, who declined to provide specifics of the revamp. Too bad FX is a family network; maybe we’ll get a heavy dosage of side-boob? (Or, you could just search for her on Google, turning safe search “off”.)

Little is known about “AHS” Season 2, save for that it will be set on the East Coast and bring back Jessica Lange (who originally played Constance), Zachary Quinto (Chad), Evan Peters (Tate), Sarah Paulson (psychic Billie Dean) and Lily Rabe (doctor’s wife Nora), all as new characters. Maroon 5 frontman and Voice coach Adam Levine will also appear in an arc as one half of a couple referred to as “The Lovers.”

EW is reporting that Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is in final negotiations to appear in season 2 of FX’s hit thriller “American Horror Story.”

In his television acting debut, Levine will be playing a contemporary character and half of a couple called “The Lovers.” “AHS” producers are so fond of Levine that they are shooting around his summer touring schedule.

While the second season of “AHS,” set to premiere on FX in October, has been cloaked in secrecy, we do know that original cast members Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Lily Rabe will be returning as entirely different characters.

Co-creator Ryan Murphy has also said that season 2 will be set in on the East Coast and in a “horror institution.” READ MORE

TV: Another Trio Check Into American Horror Story Institute!

“American Horror Story“ co-creator Ryan Murphy announced tonight at PaleyFest that Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Lily Rabe will join Zachary Quinto and Jessica Lange to play completely new characters in the sophomore season of the FX horror anthology series.

Says THR, Season 2 will shift from the creepy Los Angeles haunted mansion to an East Coast “horror institution,” with SAG and Golden Globe award winner Jessica Lange (who co-starred as the all-knowing nosy next door neighbor Constance) and Zachary Quinto (who recurred as a ghost trapped in the house) previously confirmed to return.

Peters co-starred as a mass-murderer-turned-ghost stuck in the house Tate Langdon, while Paulson had a more limited run as medium Billie Dean — who in the penultimate “Birth” episode explained to Violet (Farmiga) that the house had a paramagnetic grip — like a battery, with negative energy that feeds on trauma and draws things to it. Rabe played Nora Montgomery, one of the original owners of the house at the center of the series.

Season 2 of FX’s “American Horror Story,” which will likely return in October, will revolve around Lange’s new character, with Quito cast as a series regular. READ MORE

TV: Zachary Quinto Becomes American Horror Story Season 2 Nemesis!

While it’s been reported about 3,200 times that Jessica Lange will return in FX’s second season of “American Horror Story,” Deadline has the scoop on the first of a handful of returning cast members.

Zachary Quinto, who did a scene-stealing four-episode arc on the first season of the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk drama as the Harmon house’s doomed former co-owner Chad Warwick, will be back as a series regular in Season 2, joining Jessica Lange. Like Lange, he will play a brand new character next season, which is set at an East Coast institution. What’s more, the site reports that Quinto will play one of two male leads and the nemesis to Lange’s character, which will be at the center of the Season 2 storyline.

In addition to Lange and Quinto, three other actors from Season 1 of “AHS” will return next season. Murphy is expected to announce their names at the show’s panel tonight, which will open this year’s PaleyFest. READ MORE
