Just a few days ago, the horror world received a message from Ryan Murphy that the four season of American Horror Story will be called Freak Show and will return previous cast members Jessica Lange (last season for her), Angela Bassett, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, and Kathy Bates. Freak Show will revolve around a carnival setting with spooky clowns and carny hands.

Another actor has joined the AHS: Freak Show ranks and it is none other than Emmy Winner, The Shield bad cop, the Fantastic Four The Thing Michael Chiklis. Chiklis will be returning to television as Evan Peter’s characters dad and ex-husband to Cathy Bates.
