It's not yet known who Lange -- another Oscar and Emmy winner -- will play or what Season 3 is about, for that matter. Creator Ryan Murphy has only said the new season will revolve around Lange's character and the plot will be alien-free, historical in nature, include a romance and have a lighter tone.

"American Horror Story" Season 3 returns fall 2013.
as a big collector of classic horror and sci fi sorry but this show isn't worth watching. nothing on tv can even compare to twilight zone or
thriller or alfred hitchcock presents! two reasons is the writing sucks and there aren't any really good actors anymore! kathy bates is one
of the few left so maybe i'll give it another chance but i doubt it's still worth watching.
