Chloe Sevigny Joins 'American Horror Story' for Season 2
Ryan Murphy's sophomore season of "American Horror Story" may boil down to a battle at the insane asylum.
"Big Love" alum Chloe Sevigny will join the cast as a character who butts heads with a mental institution leader played by season returnee Jessica Lange, FX has confirmed to TheWrap.
Sevigny will play Shelly the Nymphomaniac, a bitter rival of Lange, who won Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards for her role as Constance Langdon on the show's first season but plays a new character in season two.

Murphy has said that season two, which begins production this summer, will be set in the East Coast asylum for the criminally insane.
