A new promo is out for American Horror Story: Asylum, and if you look really hard you’ll catch a glimpse of out Emmy nominee Sarah Paulson, who plays a lesbian journalist named Lana in the second season, which stars Jessica Lange as the sadistic nun who runs Briarcliff, an asylum in Massachusetts. While short, the promo includes plenty of images of Lange looking evil and imposing.

The second season also features Chloe Sevigny as Shelley the nymphomaniac, Lily Rabe, Clea Duvall as Lana’s girlfriend who had her committed, Zachary Quinto, Adam Levine and James Cromwell.
