Premieres in October on FX (date to be announced)
The first season of Ryan Murphy’s haunted-house phantasmagoria—emphasis on phantasm and gore—was sometimes brilliant, sometimes awful, but never dull. Season 2 returns with new characters (though star Jessica Lange is back, playing a different person) and a new setting: a mental asylum in the 1960s. Because a show that featured a ghost in a latex S&M suit wasn’t crazy enough to begin with.
