Season Two of American Horror Story was a thirteen-episode miniseries that was billed under the subtitle, American Horror Story: Asylum. The season began airing on the FX Network on October 17th, 2012. The show aired on Wednesday evenings at 10:00 pm EST. Season two recast many of the same actors featured in season one including Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and Jessica Lange. New cast members for the season include James Cromwell as the irredeemable scientist Doctor Arthur Arden, Joseph Fiennes as the pragmatic Monsignor Timothy Howard, and Lizzie Brocheré as savvy mental patient Grace Bertrand.

The setting for the series is Briarcliff Manor - a former tuberculosis hospital located in Massachusetts in the year 1964. A young man named Kit Walker bears witness to the horrific murder of his black wife, and is arrested for killing her. Accused of being a serial killer known as Bloody Face, he is sent to Briarcliff, where he falls under the watchful eye of no-nonsense nun Sister Jude Martin. Actress Sarah Paulson plays Lana Winters - a reporter who attempts to write an exposé on the asylum, but is committed herself after Sister Jude learns that she is a lesbian. Sister Jude has several adversaries at the asylum including Doctor Arden as well as a state-appointed psychiatrist named Doctor Oliver Thredson.
