Fans of Pepper (Naomi Grossman) are in for a treat in the upcoming second half of FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show as the character's "origin" story is explored.

'American Horror Story' Fans Angry About Latest 'Freak Show' Death, 'Not Cool, Guys'

Pepper, the microcephalic woman who first appeared in American Horror Story: Asylum, is set to have her moment in the sun very soon. Grossman recently previewed what was ahead for Pepper as it is explained how she was moved from the freak show in Jupiter, Fla. to Briarcliff, the asylum in Massachusetts.

"Well, [executive producer] Ryan Murphy has said that this was Pepper's origin story, so I can repeat what Ryan said-we'll be seeing Pepper's origin," Grossman told Ocean Drive this week.

The actress did not reveal anything specific about what was ahead, but she did tease that more death is coming.

"I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say there will be deaths," she said. "I mean, it is American Horror Story; this isn't an ABC Family after-school special. It's going to get freaky [and] there will be blood. Pepper fans are going to be pleased."

There will apparently be some good scenes ahead with Jessica Lange, who plays Elsa Mars in Freak Show. Grossman discussed what it was like working with such legendary actresses as Lange, Kathy Bates (who plays bearded lady Ethel) and Angela Bassett (three-breasted Desiree).

"It's really thrilling - it's like an acting master class," Grossman admitted. "Jessica Lange makes it so easy. There's some really juicy stuff coming up, which when I first read it I thought, "Oh God, how am I going to do this?" [But] Jessica Lange makes it so easy. All you have to do is everything they teach you in acting class: be present, be in the moment. If you do that, she will get you where you want to go emotionally. Kathy is a hoot. She's such fun on set and so humble. Angela, too; she's just so lovely, like a girlfriend. It's amazing."

Grossman's Pepper is the first character to appear on multiple seasons of American Horror Story. Murphy announced recently that while each season is essentially self-contained, they are all interconnected in various ways. As such, Lily Rabe is set to reprise her Asylum role as Sister Mary Eunice in Episode 10 of Freak Show.

American Horror Story: Freak Show airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
