‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ spoilers: Skyler Samuels nets recurring role

One of the stars of “The Nine Lives of Chloe King” is about to get a second life, and it is coming on the very bizarre (but very exciting) “American Horror Story: Freak Show.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Skyler Samuels has scored a multi-episode arc on the FX series, and she will be playing a secretive but super-important character whose skill set is said to be very important for how the story develops. The fact that this role is being kept hush-hush should not come as much of a shock to anyone at the moment, given that this is the same sort of strategy that FX has taken so far with almost everyone else on the show. We’re still even getting that with the role played by Matt Bomer. The only part that was clear from the get-go was the one played by Jessica Lange, and it wasn’t until the recent trailer that some details on everyone else were revealed.

Luckily, you will not be waiting very long for this show to really get the show on the road. The new season will premiere on FX Wednesday, October 8, and this is going to be a very unnerving one if you hate clowns. The major villain at the moment appears to be Twisty the Clown, who is as terrifying of a killer as any that we have ever seen on the show. Given how much there is this phobia going around right, they may manage to somehow be even worse.

Of course, we expect there to be more castings coming up, and we will have further information on them soon. Stay tuned!
