It had previously been revealed that Chiklis would be playing Kathy Bates's character's ex-husband while he would also be playing the father of Evan Peters' character.

"I love the part because it's really written to be quite vulnerable, which is something I think Michael does so well - the strong man who's vulnerable," Murphy continued. "I'm very excited to see [him] tussle with all those great ladies. And he's really up for it, really excited about it."

It is not known if Chiklis will be playing a "freak" in Lange's character's troupe of freaks.

Actors set to play "freaks" in the new season include Bates, Bassett, Peters, Frances Conroy and Sarah Paulson, who has revealed that she will be playing a two-headed character, named Bette and Dot. Bassett's character will have something to do with heights, based on her recent comments to E! Online.

American Horror Story: Freak Show premieres in October on FX, though the network has not yet announced a specific air date.
