Returning: American Horror Story

"Freak Show" will premiere on ELEVEN in mid-October, several days after its US debut.

2014-09-26_2323TEN has confirmed American Horror Story: Freak Show will premiere on ELEVEN at 9.30pm, Monday, October 13, several days after its US debut.

The cast features Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Denis O’Hare, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Jamie Brewer, Emma Roberts, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett and Gabourey Sidibe.

Creator Ryan Murphy has said of Jessica Lange’s character, “This season, the thing about Elsa is she’s a very benevolent soul in that her sideshow has been going on since the 1930s.

“What she’s done for 20 years is she goes around to hospitals and jails and rescues these ‘freak’ circus performers who are going to be shipped away to asylums and she signs the waivers and she becomes their guardians. So she loves them and takes care of them. She’s sort of like the mama of all of them.

“She’s trying to do anything to keep this freak show going because where are these people going to go? In her way, she relates to them and feels like she’s one of them as well,” he said.

  1. Presumably they’ll play either Supernatural or Sleepy Hollow in the 8:30 slot – the issue then is: what do they do with the other? A different night, or perhaps hold it until next year.
