Good news for American Horror Story fans.
Co-star Lily Rabe has apparently signed on for the mysterious third season of the FX anthology series, according to Ryan Murphy.
The co-creator of the miniseries that reboots itself with familiar faces playing different characters each year shared the news late Thursday on Twitter: "So thrilled to announce Lily Rabe is onboard for American Horror Story Season Three! So talented, love her!" he wrote.
The actress becomes the fourth person cast, joining Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters -- all of whom will have now appeared in all three seasons.
While details on season three are, again, being kept under wraps, the showrunner has hinted that it would be a modern-day story revolving around Lange. "We do have a great icon, and it's a woman," he said, noting that the show again would be inspired by things that he's personally interested in.
After two seasons of death and (literal) insanity, the Glee and New Normal co-creator also said AHS would explore familiar themes. "What season three is about is more historical in nature," he teased. "I'm also interested in getting into a horror romance. That's certainly something that's going to be in the water for season three.
Season one co-star Taissa Farmiga is also reportedly circling a return after sitting out the sophomore year of AHS.

I wonder who else is going to be back. Nashville will probably be renewed for a second season, so Connie's out.
There's also going to be new people, according to Ryan, so that should be fun, too.
That would be awesome.
i think the other plot aspects will involve the government or a powerful political/"royal" family using witchcraft to ascend in office
i need conroy, o'hare, and cromwell to all sign back on, too, even though cromwell is in a million other shows rn so might not
And I was worried Lily wouldn't be back because she's filming that Mary Pickford Bio. This is great news!
Oop @ me I need Hooked on Phonics.
