At this point, it's almost a legal obligation for Ryan Murphy to cast the incredible Sarah Paulson in his American Horror Story anthology shows.

The six-time Emmy nominee is the latest bonafide superstar to join the cast of Murphy's Golden Age of Hollywood drama series Feud, the writer revealed today.

Feud reunites both Murphy and Paulson with their American Horror Story co-worker Jessica Lange, who will play Hollywood legend Joan Crawford in the series.

Set during the production of cult classic What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Feud delves into every dirty secret from Crawford's notorious rivalry with co-star Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon).

Paulson will play another Hollywood legend in Geraldine Page, who would star in the Baby Jane spinoff What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice?.
