American Horror Story is going to get a little freaky with their new season. Showrunner Ryan Murphy announced on his Twitter the fourth season of FX's hit series will be called American Horror Story: Freak Show.

We already know season four will be set in the 1950s and this will be the last season for Jessica Lange, but EW has some new details on American Horror Story: Freak Show. Juniper, Florida will be the location for the new season, and Lange will play a German ex-Pat who is running one of the last freak shows in the United States. Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett and Frances Conroy will all play freaks, and Denis O'Hara and Emma Roberts are also in negotiations to return. The new season will follow Lange and the freaks as they try to keep their business open.

American Horror Story is one seriously f*cked up series, and I can only imagine how crazy the fourth season is going to be with a bunch of freaks running around.

American Horror Story: Freak Show will start airing on FX sometime this year.
