‘American Horror Story’ Season 2 Adds James Cromwell
Cromwell is great, this is gonna be good.
FX’s hit anthology series American Horror Story is looking to beef up its star power for season 2, with the addition of Oscar-nominated actor James Cromwell (L.A. Confidential). While still in the final stages of negotiations, Cromwell is poised to join the cult-thriller for a big 10-episode story arc opposite star Jessica Lange.
Set to be the main antagonist to Lange’s new season 2 character (not the same as her season 1 character), Cromwell will play the coveted role of Dr. Arden, a man who works in the East Coast institution for the criminally insane that is run by Lange’s character. This is not the first stab at television for the veteran film star, as Cromwell has lent his skills to other hit TV shows such as 24, ER and HBO’s Six Feet Under.

With a mixture of the warped season 1 finale and the intense secrecy surrounding season 2, American Horror Story has created a lot of speculation and expectation in regards to how the series will top its self. Outside of casting and location not much is known about the upcoming season — and showrunner Ryan Murphy is not telling. However, he has indicated that, although the show is set up as an anthology, some lingering questions from season 1 may get answered in season 2.
