American Horror Story Freak Show Cast Spoilers: Michael Chiklis To Play Angela Bassett's Husband, Kathy Bates' Ex, According To Ryan Murphy

As "American Horror Story: Freak Show" prepares for filming next month, spoilers regarding its cast and characters have surfaced.

After the shocking reveal of Saral Paulson's two-headed character this season, spoilers have emerged a la creator Ryan Murphy on new cast member Michael Chiklis.

According to TVLine, Chiklis will play "a strong man who’s married to Angela Bassett['s character]."

“He has scenes with Angela and Jessica Lange and [onscreen ex] Kathy Bates. I love the part because it’s really written to be quite vulnerable, which is something I think Michael does so well–the strong man who’s vulnerable. I’m very excited to see [him] tussle with all those great ladies. And he’s really up for it, really excited about it.”

Meanwhile, "American Horror Story" cast member Kathy Bates still doesn't know too many details regarding her character for "Freak Show."

"I mean, I'm surprised that Sarah Paulson came out with that she has two heads," said Bates according to PopSugar. "I was like, 'What?!' But I think it's Ryan who disseminates that information when and where he wants to. I know he's talked about the fact that we're a freak show, and we're sort of in the last days of the freak show."

"It's in the late 1950s in Jupiter, Florida, and I know what my character looks like, but I don't know anything else about her. In fact, I've just gone to costume fittings, and we're still developing the character. I haven't seen the script yet, and we start shooting in the middle of July, so time's a-wastin!'"
