"American Horror Story: Freak Show" premiered Wednesday night (Oct. 8) and FX just released a brand new trailer giving fans another sneak peek at what's in store for the fourth season. In the clip, fans get to see Emma Roberts as Maggie the fortune teller/con artist.
Maggie joins the freak show, ran by Jessica Lange's Elsa Mars, to try and trick the performers out of a few bucks. Jyoti Amge also appears in the trailer as Ma Petite, Elsa's assistant and there's another glimpse at Twisty the Clown (John Carroll Lynch).
Gloria (Frances Conroy) gives her son Dandy (Finn Wittrock) a really weird present: his very own clown (Twisty). At another point in the trailer, Dandy is covered in blood so maybe that wasn't the best gift. Three-breasted Desiree (Angela Bassett) and her husband Dell Toledo (Michael Chiklis) also pop up trying to persuade Elsa to let them into the freak show and conjoined twins Dot and Bette (Sarah Paulson) reveal a hidden talent: Dot is an amazing talent.
However, things aren't so peachy for the circus group. Someone goes missing and Maggie is worried about some of the performers being murdered. You can check out the trailer below.
Now, time for some more "Freak Show" spoilers, courtesy of TV Line.
-The fourth episode will reveal Twisty's backstory and explain why he's so... twisted.
"There's a big story that explains... why he's doing what he's doing," Murphy said, adding that the episode is "somewhat based on an urban myth."
-The Halloween episode will be two-parts and focuses on new character Edward Mordrake (Wes Bentley). The character is based off a real-life person who supposedly born with a second - and evil - face on the back of his head. The Halloween episode also has something to do with the gates of hell.
- Maggie and Dot don't get along and fans should expect more conflict between them. Murphy told TV Line that Dot has it out for Maggie.
-Matt Bomer's still-unidentified character will be introduced in episode 5 and Murphy warns that it's a "true horror scene." According to TV Line, he told Bomer that the character is "really f**ked up."
