“American Horror Story” Season 4 is about to begin production in Louisiana.
A casting call for extras has been released by the series extras casting directors at Batherson casting. Filming for the show will begin in mid July and those living in the New Orleans area can submit their information to the production to be considered for extra / background roles on the show.
Currently they are casting men to portray 1950’s carnival workers. The notice states that long hair and beards are OK but tattoos are not.
“American Horror Story” stars Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Gadbourey Sidibe, Emma Roberts, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, and Denis O’Hare. Recently twitter gave out a few spoilers for season 4. Seems that Jessica Lange will be playing a German Freak show manager in one of the last traveling shows in the 50’s. Some of the Coven cast will return and most will be playing performers in the Freakshow. There has also been rumor that Freak show will be Jessica Lange’s last season with the show.
Recently it was announced that Michael Chiklis would be joining the existing ‘American Horror Story” cast this season. Chiklis is set to play the ex husband of Kathy Bates character who is also the father of Evan Peters. The new season of AHS is called freak show and while not too many details about the storyline have been released, but Ryan Murphy (Nip Tuck) is involved in the new season and in an interview with Screenrant offered up the following information:
“It’s not a circus and it’s not a carnival. It’s a freak show, which is very unique. It’s set in 1950. And it was something that’s been Jessica Lange’s favorite thing to talk about, every season. She wanted to play this sort of character, and she really likes that milieu, so that’s exciting. We’re shooting it in New Orleans, but it’s going to be set in Florida, where all great things happen.”
Season 4 of AHS will be set in Florida, however the show will be filming in New Orleans.
