MUMBAI: Connie Britton has been signed to star in American Horror Story, the FX drama pilot. FX has also signed Ryan Murphy to direct a pilot of the show, yet untitled, that is set to roll after he wraps up Glee next month. Britton will play Vivien Harmon, one-half of the show’s central couple.

While details of the project is not yet known, FX chief John Landgraf was quite enthusiastic when he called the project “really complicated, interesting psychological horror show but incredibly ambitious.”

When asked how it will differ from Harper’s Island, Landgraf argued that both the shows would be different.
