If you’re a fan of American Horror Story then you are already probably aware of the upcoming season entitled American Horror Story: Freak Show. The official date and time has now been announced, so get out your kitty cat page-a-day calendar and write this down: On Wednesday, October 8th at 10pm on FX, the freak show begins! It feels good to say that and not get in trouble right?
The fourth season of FX's horror anthology series is set in Jupiter, Florida in 1950 and finds Jessica Lange playing a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S. Lange’s cast of "unusuals" is made up of Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy who are all playing performers that have been rescued by Lange’s character. Michael Chiklis also stars with Denis O’Hare and Emma Roberts returning. Patti LaBelle is even stopping by because why not?
Ryan Murphy also tweeted a picture of their newest cast member, Jyoti Amge, the world's smallest woman:

Are you a fan of the show? I’ve been told I could watch any season on its own without having to have seen the rest. If that’s true, bring on the freaks!
