American Horror Story - Season 3 - Ryan Murphy teases Kathy Bates' role

Feb 28, 2013

“Oh, Kathy’s never [played] someone this bad,” Ryan Murphy revealed to TVLine with a laugh at PaleyFest Wednesday night, where he was honored with the event’s inaugural Icon Award. “Her [character] is a bad, bad woman!”

While most details surrounding the acclaimed actress’ buzzy new role are being kept under wraps, Murphy couldn’t help but raise fans’ expectations just a teensy bit more by promising that Bates’ Horror Story nemesis is “five times worse than [her] Misery character — which is why she liked it.

“When I pitched this to Kathy, her mouth was drop-jawed because what I was pitching actually happened,” Murphy continued. “It’s a true event… You’ll see. It’s some good stuff.”

“Jessica told me in Season 1 that Kathy was a huge fan of the show, so I just put that in the back of my mind,” the prolific producer explained. “When we were crafting this season, I found this character — a true-life character — so I called Kathy and said, ‘I don’t know if you want to do TV again, but I’ve got this character…’ She said, ‘I love you and I love the show. Lemme think for two weeks’ — and then she called me in an hour and said, ‘I love it! I’ll do it!’ It was great.”

  2. If season three isn't about witches - Which I am convinced it is - I'm going to be pissed.

    And I think this is the true story she's going to be based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaLaurie_house First thing that popped into my head and someone else also guessed it at TVLine.

    So excited for season three!

  4. I hope you're right! And I agree about the witchcraft thing. Charmed was a very silly show and other than that all the shows I enjoy revolving around witchcraft get canned, and AHS would do a great job with it, I think.
