Check out the new promo:

The new promo shows fans just what goes down in the asylum, and it’s clear Sister Jude has a thing for torture. Poor Kit, played by Evan Peters, is on the receiving end. It looks like the patients won’t be the only ones under her torment, the angry nun also seems to have it out for Sister Eunice. Plus Monsignor Timothy Howard won’t be as innocent as he seems. The man in charge of the nuns won’t be any better than they are! The lust might just be directed at the patients.
