Details have finally been released for Ryan Murphy’s latest installment of the Jessica Lange Show. As reported by Vulture, Murphy explains:
“The witches of Salem, the smart ones, got out very early and they were none of the ones who were burned,” Murphy explained. “They all gravitated toward New Orleans, where they now live, and every generation has a great witch who has the most powers of them all, and that’s called the Supreme. Ms. Jessica Lange is the Supreme.”
Uh, yeah she is. The show will take place both in present day and in the 1830’s, and suspicions were confirmed that Kathy Bates is indeed playing Marie Delphine LaLaurie, which will admittedly be awesome, but will likely only add to my annoyance with the “SHOCK ME SHOCK ME SHOCK ME” tone of the show.
Joining Ms. Lange and Bates will be Angela Bassett as Marie Laveau (neat!), and AHS veterans Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, Evan Peters, Alexandra Breckinridge, Jamie Brewer, Lily Rabe, and Dennis O’Hare. Gabourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, and oh my gawd are you serious Patti LuPone will be making a start on the series this year.
And now, here’s your 18 seconds of creepy…
