Ryan Murphy will 'reinvent' American Horror Story for season 5


If you are like me, you are hating this season of American Horror Story: Freak Show. It started off strong, but like most seasons, it falls apart somewhere in the middle. However, Ryan recognizes the chaos and promises a big change in the next season.

FX CEO John Landgraf said this at the TCA winter press tour:
Pressed to reveal the theme to follow Freak Show (which finales on Wednesday), Landgraf deferred, “I know what it is, but I can’t [say]. I have to let [series boss] Ryan [Murphy] do his thing on that. But it’s very different.” Landgraf went on to say of the franchise, “One of the things I love so much about that is that it can be radically, radically reinvented in terms of tone, setting, period, characters, cast.” And along those lines, “I think there’s going to be an unusually large reinvention in between Book 4 and Book 5 relative to, say, between Book 3 [Coven] and 4 [Freak Show]. The only Season 5 clue Landgraf perhaps let slip was when asked about the show returning to the present day (as it thus far has done with odd-numbered seasons). “That’s my hope, yeah,” he answered. As for Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jessica Lange being a part of the next cycle — a while ago, she hinted in an interview that Freak Show would be her swan song — Landgraf has no information, explaining, “Ryan is really, really independent in how he makes these shows and what he does. So I know the setting, I know something about the characters and something about the tone and the time period, but I don’t actually know the cast yet.”
Yes, fix this series up because we can't have another mess like Freak Show again.

Is Neil Patrick Harris joining American Horror Story: Freak Show?


Could NPH be on the next season of American Horror Story?

On EW Radio, Neil talked about asking Ryan Murphy (via letter) to be in American Horror Story: Freakshow.
“I wrote a letter to Ryan asking if I can be in it, even though I wasn't even available to be in it,” Harris admitted. “To do one that involves any kind of freak, circus nonsense is going to be so unsettling to watch. Can't wait!”
Days later, Ryan responded via Twitter that he would love Neil on the show.

Now, it's up to Neil.

American Horror Story will be called “Freak Show” and the Cast's Confirmed


The fourth season of American Horror Story will be called “Freak Show,” and many of our favorites are returning. Jessica Lange is the German manager of the last freak shows in the U.S. and Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy are also coming back.

from EW
Set in Jupiter, Florida, in 1950, Freak Show finds Jessica Lange playing a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the U.S. Her group of “unusuals”? Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Frances Conroy all play performers whom Lange’s character has rescued; Denis O’Hare and Emma Roberts are also in talks to return. Freak Show’s 13 episodes will track this group as they do anything to keep their business around.
