More casting news has come in for the highly anticipated second season of the hit FX series “American Horror Story”, and we have every current detail of what we know so far, right here on tap. Read on for the skinny on who’s checking into the small screen mental ward next!

According to Entertainment Weekly, Shakespeare in Love star Joseph Fiennes (pictured) is in negotiations to appear as a regular on the show. The actor would play the head of the institution for the criminally insane where star Jessica Lange works and will also be the object of her attraction; the pair have a May/December romance. Not much else is known about his character, but we’re told he’s “tortured” — not surprising given the dark world of “American Horror Story”.

“American Horror Story” Season 2 will be set in the 1960’s. Jessica Lange, James Cromwell, Adam Levine, Zachary Quinto, Chloe Sevigny, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, and Lizzie Brochere star. More as it comes.
