Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Making its debut in under a month on October 8th at 10:00 PM on FX is the new season of “American Horror Story”, and rather than another ridiculous promo or poster, we’ve actually got some stills from the first three episodes. The images, which you can find below, are quite revealing as they show off the freaks that make up the “Freak Show”. Apparently, Kathy Bates can grow a better beard than me, so there’s that. Dig it, freaks!

Entitled ‘Monsters Among Us’, the first episode in the fourth season of “American Horror Story: Freak Show” goes like this:

One of the only surviving sideshows in the country struggles to stay in business during the dawning era of television. When police make a terrifying discovery at a local farmhouse, the eccentric purveyor of the freak show (Lange) sees an opportunity that will lead her troupe either to their salvation or ruin. Written by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk; directed by Ryan Murphy.

Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Denis O'Hare, Jamie Brewer, and Evan Peters return from previous seasons. New cast members includes Michael Chiklis, Wes Bentley, John Carroll Lynch, Finn Wittrock, Matt Bomer, Patti LaBelle and the world’s smallest living woman, Jyoti Amge.
