Even though the premiere for American Horror Story: Asylum is just around the corner, Ryan Murphy is still revealing new casting! This time Ian McShane has been committed to the cast of the asylum.
Yesterday, show creator Ryan Murphy took to Twitter to announce that Ian McShane had been added to the star-studded cast. Although no details have been released about his character, we do know that he will go up against Jessica Lange’s character Sister Jude! It seems like the nun is going to have a lot of enemies at Briarcliff.
Guess who’s coming to #AmericanHorrorStory Asylum to tussle with Jessica Lange? Legendary Golden Globe winner Ian McShane!

FX also released the first five minutes of the season 2 premiere yesterday. The video showed “The Lovers” Leo and Teresa ( played by Adam Levine and Jenna Dewan-Tatum) on their haunted honeymoon tour. Teresa’s odd obsession with horror looks like its going to get them into quite a bit of trouble when they go searching Briarcliff and get more than they bargained for.
The miniseries stars Jessica Lange as Sister Jude, Sarah Paulson as Lana Winters, James Cromwell as Dr. Arthur Arden, Evan Peters as Kit Walker, Lily Rabe as Sister Mary Eunice, Lizzie Borchere as Grace, Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Thredson, and Joseph Fiennes as Monsignor Timothy Howard. Guest stars include Frances Conroy, Chloe Sevigny, Adam Levine, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, and Mark Consuelos.
