The cast and crew of American Horror Story is gearing up for another season with new characters, new settings and a new plot.

Taissa Farmiga Denies Possible Role In Season 4?

Here is everything you need to know so far about American Horror Story's season 4:

The fourth season of American Horror Story is subtitled Freak Show and is set to take place in the 1950s. Set in Jupiter, Fla., Freak Show stars Jessica Lange as the owner of one of the last remaining "freak shows" in America. Among her troupe of freaks are characters played by Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Frances Conroy.

Season 4: Back To New Orleans?

Lange's character and her troupe of freaks do everything in their power to keep the freak show alive. Other previous American Horror Story actors who are slated to return for Freak Show are Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe and Jamie Brewer, though it is not known who they will be playing or in what capacity.

Denis O'Hare is also returning to star in the season, and the actor spilled the beans on a few details of who he'll be playing. O'Hare told Vulture recently that he will be playing a "collector of freaks" who has conflicts with Lange's character.

"I'm going to be working at cross-purposes with her. We're going to be like this," he said, crossing his fingers. "We'll have lots of scenes with each other, but we'll be battling."

Michael Chiklis (The Shield) will star in the season as well, joining the cast for the first time. He will play the father of Peters' character and the ex-husband of Bates' character.

American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has said that this season will feature more gothic horror and will be similar in tone to season 3's Coven.

American Horror Story season 4 premieres in fall 2014 on FX, though the network has not yet scheduled an official air date.
