American Horror Story Freak Show Cast Photos: First Bearded Look!

at .

American Horror Story: Freak Show will bring back an influx of familiar faces to this franchise.

But stars such as Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Evan Peters will not be in roles familiar to long-time American Horror Story viewers. Very far from it in, fact.

One will play a character with three boobs. Will will don facial hair. One will actually portray conjoined twins, while everyone will be decked out in proper attire from the 1950s.

This is the era in which American Horror Story: Freak Show will be set, as Lange takes on the role of Elsa Mars, the head of a traveling carnival full of, well, freaks.

New miniseries players will include Wes Bentley and Finn Wittrock, both of whom are featured in the following photo gallery.

Courtesy of FX, check out various key actors and actresses in the eccentric roles they'll be tackling this fall and prepare for American Horror Story Season 4 Episode 1 to air on Wednesday, October 8 at 10/9c.
