According to TVLine, the casting process has begun for an actress in her mid-20's that will play a "major season 2 arch nemesis for Jessica Lange". Named Gia, she's said to be partially based off of Angelina Jolie's character in Girl, Interrupted:

In case you missed the previous news, the Harmon's story is done and American Horror Story season 2 features a brand new story, characters, theme, and location. This time the horror will take place in an institution on the east coast.

The writing and casting of season 2 is still ongoing, with shooting expected in to start in July. American Horror Story will return this October.
