The Oscar winning actress Kathy Bates (MISERY) is close to signing on to join the ensemble cast of AMERICAN HORROR STORY season 3 as the story’s chief villain. According to TV Line, Bates will star as the best mate turned arch enemy of AHS veteran Jessica Lange. 

Exact plot details continue to remain thin on the ground, but if you want to know what’s currently out there, read our previous story HERE.

Currently confirmed to join Lange (and hopefully Bates) are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Lily Rabe and Francis Conroy. 

AMERICAN HORROR STORY returns to our screens in October.
