> FX president and general manager John Landgraf met the
Television Critics Association to present the cable network's
spring season. Taking questions, he addressed the status of
"American Horror Story"'s second season and new cast.
>
> "Ryan Murphy's already looking for that cast," Landgraf said.
"He's already in active conversations with new people and also
two or possibly three of the existing cast members, some series
regulars or guest cast may be continuing next year although they
would be playing entirely new roles."
>
> Landgraf reiterated that he greenlit the plan to kill off the
season one cast. They just didn't want the audience to know that
was going to happen. "We just didn't want to tell the audience
that because the experience of not knowing where it would end
would be diminished, if they knew we were going to burn this
cast and location to the ground."
>
> This is something Ryan Murphy does. Maybe not on "Glee," but
his previous FX show was reinvented a few times too. If you
liked "nip/tuck" in L.A. (and I did. It really saved the series
from the Carver and organ thieves) then "American Horror Story"
is following a similar artistic path.
>
> "This was something I was really excited about this idea from
the get go," Landgraf said. "One of the things I think Ryan's
particularly strong at is creating a really distinctive world in
all its aspects. That includes the tone and mood of the place,
the costume design and music, cinematography. If you looked at
the way those characters were dressed, right down to Jessica
Lange's wardrobe and the way her hair was style, Ryan Murphy was
involved in every aspect of that. Even with nip/tuck he wanted
to recreate it at a certain point so he moved it from Miami to
LA. This gives him the opportunity to do that every year."
>
> To some extent Landgraf lets Murphy do what he wants. If
audiences have a hard time with the show, they're just not going
to get Murphy. But there's no reigning him in.
>
> "They have more leeway and creative freedom than most so I
don't know every detail of everything they're up to, I certainly
knew a lot," Landgraf said. "I knew the entire family was going
to die by the end of the season. One of my biggest concerns
about the piece is that the nature of the genre is that you're
always ahead of the protagonist. You know things the protagonist
doesn't know so we knew that certain critics and audiences would
get frustrated with the leads. It's just a classic rule of
storytelling the leads should know more than the audience, or at
least not less. After the lead characters were dead and knew
everything, they were at least by the end of the piece able to
recapture their status as leads. The final episode where Vivien
and Ben Harmon spook the new couple out of the house was the
first time in 7 or 8 episodes where they were ahead of the
audience. It was an experiment. I didn't know if that would
alienate the audience. It didn't in terms of viewership. That's
Ryan. He's going to push the form and go to places you wouldn't
expect."
>
> The FX thriller from "Glee" co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad
Falchuk capped off its first season run with a record 3.22
million viewers -- a strong finish for the top-rated first
season series in the network's history, said THR back in
December.
>
> The finale, which drew mixed reviews from critics, delivered
2.2 million viewers in the coveted 18 to 49 demographic, and
ranked as cable's No. 1 program in all of key demos Wednesday.
Once DVR viewership is factored in for what Nielsen named the
year's most time-shifted program, the final tally will likely
exceed 5 million total viewers.

I thought that Ryan and company had already nailed down the
Season 2 cast. But looking at it as a whole, the smart thing was
to wait till the end of Season 1 to run it's course because if
you hire new people before the Season Finale, the obvious
questions that surface would be "what about the original cast?"
So yeah, makes sense now why it seems they are "late" getting
the cast together. But does this mean that Season 2 would be
pushed back further as far as air date is concerned? I don't
know how much time they need for pre-production work on the show
when it comes to casting, scouting locations, writing, etc....I
hope they are ahead of the curve because it's gonna suck if I
have to wait even longer for them to return.

[glow=green,2,300]Next 'American Horror Story' To Be Told From A
"Horror Institution"[/glow]
--- Quote ---
> Those of you who are dying for a few clues as to what to
expect from the second season of "American Horror Story," show
creator Ryan Murphy opened up a bit on Bravo’s "Watch What
Happens Live" Monday night.
>
> As discovered by TV Line, during a round of WWHL's "Plead the
Fifth," Murphy confirmed that Golden Globe winner Jessica Lange
will appear in some capacity during the FX horror show's
sophomore season. As for other returning actors, the exec
producer told Cohen, "I'm in negotiations with four of the
people who were on last year's show, and none of them were the
Harmons" — which means Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott or Taissa
Farmiga are all long gone.
>
> Murphy also teased that the upcoming season will take place on
the East Coast in a "horror institution." Now that's a way to
kick it up a notch!

AHS can't return fast enough for me. Funny how I almost threw in
the towel on this series after the first couple of episodes of
Season 1.

> While it's been reported about 3,200 times that Jessica Lange
will return in FX's second season of "American Horror Story,"
Deadline has the scoop on the first of a handful of returning
cast members.
>
> Zachary Quinto, who did a scene-stealing four-episode arc on
the first season of the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk drama as the
Harmon house's doomed former co-owner Chad Warwick, will be back
as a series regular in Season 2, joining Jessica Lange. Like
Lange, he will play a brand new character next season, which is
set at an East Coast institution. What's more, the site reports
that Quinto will play one of two male leads and the nemesis to
Lange's character, which will be at the center of the Season 2
storyline.
>
> In addition to Lange and Quinto, three other actors from
Season 1 of "AHS" will return next season. Murphy is expected to
announce their names at the show's panel tonight, which will
open this year’s PaleyFest.

regular.
