AHS actress joins new season of beloved Ryan Murphy show

American Horror Story alum Chloë Sevigny is reuniting with Ryan Murphy to help tell another story – this time with less emphasis on the horror.

Sevigny previously appeared on the second and fifth season of Murphy's horror anthology, Asylum and Hotel. This time the actress has joined another one of his shows, FX's FEUD, according to Deadline.

Sevigny has boarded the show's sophomore season, which will be based on Laurence Leamer's book, Capote's Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era.

The book followed author Truman Capote's affairs and betrayals of his female acquaintances – often referred to as his 'swans' – during the rise and fall of his career in the '70s.

The actress will portray the 'swan', fashion designer and actress C.Z. Guest, who was one of Capote's closest friends.

She will be joining the likes of The Night Manager's Tom Hollander (Capote), as well as Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, and Supergirl's Calista Flockhart.

The long-awaited eight-episode season will be directed by Good Will Hunting's Gus Van Sant and have Brothers & Sisters' creator Jon Robin Baitz as its writer and showrunner.

FEUD's first season shone light on the feud between Hollywood starlets, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, during and after the filming of their Oscar-winning 1962 film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?.

The show, starring Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange in the leading roles, premiered in 2017 and took home two Emmy Awards.

American Horror Story airs on FX in the US and Disney+ in the UK. Catch up on series 1-8 on Netflix, with seasons 1-9 available to buy on Amazon Prime Video.
