Series writer Tim Minear talked to MTV about Lange's reinvention. "She's not playing this kind of ersatz Tennessee Williams character this time," Minear said. "She's playing something that's a little more East Coast, a little more patrician."
In fact, Lange will do a complete 180 from the dark and twisted lush she played last season. "She's playing a nun," Minear said. "She's playing an administrator of a facility. It's different. In this instance, she's a bride of Christ."
Lange's turn as a nun isn't the only intriguing aspect of Season 2. Maroon 5 frontman and The Voice coach Adam Levine will be playing one of "The Lovers." Minear described Levine's character as "kind of a nod to contemporary sensibilities, as opposed to something from the mid-century.
In addition to Lange, Levine will join other returning cast members Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Lily Rabe
American Horror Story returns to FX this fall.
