Zachary Quinto Will Star in Season 2

Zachary Quinto will return to the hit series American Horror Story to again battle Jessica Lange, whose return was previously announced, though both will play new characters, reports Deadline.

Deadline reveals that Quinto will play one of two male leads and the nemesis to the new character played by Lange.

Quinto previously appeared in four episodes as Chad Warwick, half of a murdered gay couple who once owned the haunted house at the center of the FX supernatural hit from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. In one episode Quinto had a memorable duel of wits with Lange, so fans of the actors are likely to relish what awaits them in the second season, which is scheduled to begin in October.
