'American Horror Story: Freak Show' Set to Get Freakier with Casting News

This season of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" gets better with each episode, so prepare to be dazzled when some new faces show up under the big top. TV Line announced yesterday that Neil Patrick Harris, along with his husband David Burtka, will be guest starring in this season of the dark, FX drama.

Harris will be appearing as a chameleon salesman in episodes 11 and 12, with Burtka showing up in episode 13 to bring a little steamy action to Elsa Mars. While it is absolutely thrilling that Harris and Burtka will be guest starring, my excitement shot through the roof upon learning a familiar face was being resurrected.

Lily Rabe will be returning to the American Horror Story realm as Sister Mary Eunice of Asylum. According to Entertainment Weekly, "The reason for Sister Mary’s return involves Pepper (Naomi Grossman) and how she ended up going from the freak show to Asylum‘s titular institution, Briarcliff. Rabe’s appearance will be on AHS‘ 10th episode, which is their big winter cliffhanger."

So come one, come all and enjoy the rest of the season on FX, Wednesday's at 10 p.m. ET. Wir Sind Alle Freaks!

Stevie Nicks to Appear on 'American Horror Story: Coven'

Kyle may have “broke Stevie” on last night’s episode of “American Horror Story: Coven” but have no fear, she’ll still be a part of the show. According to a tweet on November 13 from co-creator, Ryan Murphy, Stevie Nicks will be another star to grace the show with her presence.

Murphy is a long-time fan of Nicks and in an “Glee”-related interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, Murphy admitted, “When I was growing up, I was always obsessed with those Stevie Nicks songs like ‘Rhiannon’ and ‘Gypsy.’”

One of the witches on the show, Misty Day (Lily Rabe), is just as enamored with the "White Witch" and Murphy made it a point to ask Nicks if he could use her for this story line:

When we got to this witch idea, I thought, if you’re Misty and you have grown up alone and you don’t know any other witches, there’s one witch you probably would know and that’s Stevie Nicks. So I called Stevie Nicks and first I said, ‘I want to use you in the show.’ But she was very resistant because from the beginning of her career people who are in the Wiccan community had given her a hard time thinking she was a witch and she got a lot of scary fan letters. She didn’t like the darkness of that, and I explained to her the part and she’s like, ‘Aw f—, let’s just do it. OK, I love it.’

No word on when Nicks will make her appearance or if she’ll be playing herself, but Rabe admitted that she’ll not be able to contain her fan-girling when it happens, “I don’t get that crazy about a lot of people. I’m usually pretty cool, calm, and collected. But I don’t know if could behave properly. I love her so much. She’s just a beautiful creature.”

"American Horror Story: Coven" airs on FX, Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
