Thank you, Ryan Murphy.

I cannot wait to see this.

WHY KATHY BATES JOINED “AMERICAN HORROR STORY”
“Jessica told me in Season 1 that Kathy was a huge fan of the show, so I just put that in the back of my mind,” Murphy said. “When we were crafting this season, I found this character — a true-life character — so I called Kathy and said, ‘I don’t know if you want to do TV again, but I’ve got this character …’ She said, ‘I love you and I love the show. Lemme think for two weeks’ — and then she called me in an hour and said, ‘I love it! I’ll do it!’ It was great.”
She’s playing somebody very bad. Worse than her “Misery” character. Guess Kath wanted an Emmy nom too.

“American Horror Story Season 3 scoop! 
Jessica Lange will be joined by Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters in the new season. Plus romance, fun and gowns?
“I really miss that Jessica Lange as Constance stuff and I know she missed it too,” Murphy said. “So the only thing I’ll say about [Season 3] is it is a mixture of several cities, and it’s really about female power and I got Jessica to do it because I did everything she asked, which was the location [and] I told her that she will have complete hair and makeup and the best designer gowns. She said ‘please don’t put me in a wimple again,’ so she’s going to play a really glamour-cat sort of lady in Season 3. I’m just now meeting up with a lot of actors so I don’t want to say too much, actors that Jessica wants to work with. So she’s become the uncredited producer of Season 3.”
Get all the scoop.
