American Horror Story: Scoop on Franka Potente's character in season 2 from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez

Here's some scoop on American Horror Story from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 9/1/12.

I adore your column! Do you have any secrets from the upcoming series of American Horror Story? The teasers are so creepy and good! — George
Well George, here’s hoping you’ve already picked up this awesome, scoop-filled issue. If you did and are still craving more, I asked Copper star Franka Potente (Run Lola Run) for even the tiniest hint about her character, who appears in episode four and five of the upcoming season. “I’m not allowed to tell you really anything,” she says. “But there’s this pretty crazy revelation about my character. You know  [how when]Hitchcock [was] at his best he had this momentum in his movies where you think something’s insane but possible? My character has that momentum. And anybody who has seen this show will have [that feeling] because it’s related to something everybody knows historically.” It’s a head-scratcher, I know. But considering this year features aliens and Nazis, there’s little sense to be made of it all at this point – which is what makes it so delicious!

American Horror Story Exclusive: Bourne Actress Franka Potente Joins Season 2 Cast as [Spoiler]-TVLine

According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Franka Potente will be guest-starring in two episodes of the second season of American Horror Story. Here's an excerpt from the article:



The Run Lola Run actress — who appeared opposite Matt Damon in the first two Bourne flicks — will play a mysterious patient of the facility in a two-episode arc.

As previously reported, Season 2 of the Emmy-nominated FX series will take place in a 1960s insane asylum on the East Coast. Jessica Lange will play a nun who’s in charge of the facility, and her Season 1 castmates Zachary Quinto, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Lily Rabe will return to portray completely new characters, as well.

Potente, who will next star in BBC’s America’s first original series Copper, is the latest in a slew of cast additions that includes Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brocheré, Joseph Fiennes, James Cromwell, Britne Oldford, Mark Consuelos, Clea Duvall, Jenna Dewan and Chris Zylka.

The new season is set to premiere in October.

My thoughts: I loved Franka Potente in The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, so I'm really excited that she'll be guest-starring in season 2 of American Horror Story. The more I hear about season 2, the more excited I am for season 2 to start. Based on all of the casting news that's been announced so far for season 2, I think the second season of American Horror Story is going to be awesome. :)
