As if we weren’t excited for Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story already, it has been revealed that Grammy award winning Patti LaBelle will be joining the latest in the series Freak Show.
LaBelle will make a four episode guest appearance as the mother of Gabourey Sidibe’s character (who has not been revealed just yet). LaBelle’s character also plays part in the unravelling of the murderous secrets of Twisty The Clown Killer (John Carroll Lynch).
American Horror Story: Freak Show follows one of the few remaining freak shows in 1950s America. The series will look at the “freaks” as they try and keep their show alive, and deal with the evil forces who do not understand them. The series will star AHS regulars Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy and Sarah Paulson as Bette and Dot Tattler, who are conjoined twins. New cast members for this year will include FANTASTIC FOUR’s Michael Chiklis and THE HUNGER GAMES’ Wes Bentley.
We have to wonder, is Murphy going for the world record of legendary women in one TV series? It does look like it!
American Horror Story: Freak Show has no confirmed return date yet.
