The cast of American Horror Story hit up PaleyFest last night and Ryan Murphy revealed some tidbits about the anthology's next season, subtitled "Freak Show." Michael Chiklis will join the cast as Jessica Lange's ex-husband and Evan Peters' father.

Series regulars Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Frances Conroy and Angela Basset are also returning for season four. It's set in Jupiter, Florida in 1950, where Lange is a German running "one of the last freak shows in the U.S." She'll also have a German accent, which is great news. 

"It's going to be crazy, and we're going to scare you,” Chiklis said at PaleyFest. "Remember, I played The Thing. I'm ready, I'm up for it. Whatever comes my way, I'm up for it."
