Kathy Bates Joins AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 3

The third season of American Horror Story went out and got itself an Academy Award winning actress! Kathy Bates has been cast in the next season, and she will play a best friend-turned-enemy to Jessica Lange's new character in the series. It should be fun watching these two actresses at each other's throat. 

As you know, this series reboots itself every season. I loved the last season and I'm looking forward to seeing what Ryan Murphy is planning for us this season. There's not a lot of details on what we will see in season 3 but Murphy said it will be more upbeat than the Asylum chapter. Here's what he had to say in a previous interview,

What season three is about is more historical in nature. I'm also interested in getting into a horror romance. That's certainly something that's going to be in the water for season three. You're going to see a very different tone in season three, but that's the joy of the show. I think as a person right now I do feel lighter and wanting to embrace something a little bit more fun.

I love that they can basically take this show, and turn it into whatever kind of horror thriller they want, and they can change up the tone, and stories they tell. Murphy has done a great job with the series, and I'm hoping to see more seasons. Bates will make a perfect addition to the cast!
