According to TV Guide Ian McShane has landed a role on the second season of the anthology series. Details on his role were unavailable, but Ryan Murphy noted on Twitter that the Golden Globe winner will “tussle” with Jessica Lange’s Sister Jude, one of the nuns who runs the insane asylum at Briarcliff Manor (aka this season’s Murder House, of sorts).
