Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>, American Horror Story<\/em> Season 2<\/a> star Jessica Lange revealed just how far removed her new character is from Season 1’s Golden Globe Award-winning predatory psycho next door Constance Langdon<\/a>, saying, “She’s very different. She’s also a survivor. I’m not even sure where we’re going with her, but there are certain elements of their history that are definitely shared.”<\/p>\n

That Season 2, American Horror Story: Asylum<\/em><\/a>, would shake up the format of the show completely was as big a surprise to Jessica Lange as it was to the viewers.<\/p>\n

“That was never discussed when we started,” reveals Lange. “I’m not sure when they came to that decision, but I’m grateful for it. I don’t know how they would have sustained that same story over several seasons. One thing that appealed to me was establishing a character over 12 hours. Usually in film, you’ve got two hours to create this character, and I thought that would be interesting to try to sustain. Would I like to still be doing that same character within that same storyline? No. So this was a great boon that they decided to do it this way.”<\/p>\n

American Horror Story: Asylum<\/em><\/a> is due to air in October on FX, while Season 1 is available on DVD and Blu-ray from 15 October 2012. Pre-order it now on DVD<\/a> or on Blu-ray from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
