Months ago, Murphy said season 2 would take place on the East Coast and in a classic horror institutation. Murphy revealed during a television panel discussion yesterday, “[Season 2] is set on the East Coast at an institution for the criminally insane that is run by Jessica [Lange].”
Ah, but there’s more. There is now the question of what time period season 2 is set…
Murphy revealed, “It’s a completely different world and has nothing to do with Season 1; there’s not a mention of Season 1. The second season is set in a completely different time period.”
Cast-wise Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe and Lizzie Brochere will star. Adam Levine, of The Voice, is indeed confirmed to join the cast (he was rumored to be circling a part).
Murphy said it is very possible more cast members from season 1 will be back.
“The idea is to work with actors that you love and are excited by. The second season, everybody who was announced, there will be other people up on this stage who are not announced who will also be in it but are playing the polar opposite of what they were in the first season in every way.”
Murphy was joined on the panel by season 1’s Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, Alexandra Breckinridge, Denis O’Hare, Peters, Lange, Rabe and Quinto so you can start taking guesses as to who else is returning.
