So, now that it’s been decided that “American Horror Story” is a mini-series rather than a full-blown series-series, what we have coming up is “Chapter 2” rather than “Season 2”; and creator Ryan Murphy has given it a title.

According to TV Guide the second chapter of “American Horror Story” will be called “Asylum.”

“We picked ‘Asylum’ because it not only describes the setting — an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange’s character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward — but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted,” executive producer Ryan Murphy said in a statement. “This year’s theme is about sanity and tackling real-life horrors.”

Chapter 2’s stars include Jessica Lange, Adam Levin, Sarah Paulson, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Jenna Dewan, Chris Zylka, Franka Potente, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Clea Duvall, James Cromwell, Mark Consuelos, and Lizzie Brochere.

Set at an East Coast asylum for the criminally insane, the upcoming Chapter 2 revolves around Lange’s new character — a nun — and her boss at the institution, played by Cromwell.
