American Horror Story: Freak Show will return to FX this October. Check out what we know already and find out when to watch!

Fans, mark your calendars! American Horror Story: Freak Show, and all the nightmares that come with it, will begin on Wednesday, October 8 at 10:00 p.m. ET on FX.

The official synopsis from FX reads:

American Horror Story: Freak Show begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience.

Ryan Murphy took to Twitter to share the first creepy seconds of promotional material:

Here is a run down of what fans can expect so far this season:

•A two-part Halloween-centric episode will air on October 21 and October 28, where fans will meet Wes Bently’s character, Eddie. Kathy Bates, no stranger to characters seeking revenge at her expense, will be the target of Eddie’s rage.

•Bates and Angela Bassett are set to create another twisted relationship after Coven‘s eternal war as Effil Darling and Desiree Dupre. Michael Chiklis will play Wendell del Tolito, husband to Basset’s Dupre, and ex-husband to Bates’ Darling.

•Evan Peters will return to play Jimmy Darling, the son of Wendell and Effil. Emma Roberts will play a character named Maggie. Sarah Paulson is playing conjoined twins Bette and Dot Tattler.

•At Comic-Con, it was announced that John Carroll Lynch will play the villain in Season 4. This villain is going to “scare the s**t out of you,” says Tim Minear, executive producer of American Horror Story.

•Patti LaBelle will take up a small role on the show as mother to Gabourey Sidibe and local town resident who uncovers a thing or two about the clown killer, Twisty.

•Also joining the cast this season is Jyoti Amge, the world’s smallest woman. Murphy tweeted a photo of Amge and Lange earlier this week.
