LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Lily Rabe will reprise Sister Mary Eunice on American Horror Story: Freak Show.

The 32-year-old actress first portrayed the character on season two of the FX series, Asylum, and will return on episode 10 of Freak Show.

Freak Show takes place in 1952, 12 years before the events of Asylum. Asylum saw Sister Mary transform from a naive and acquiescent nun to a manipulative murderer after being possessed by the Devil, and Freak Show will explore how Pepper (Naomi Grossman) ended up at Briarcliff Mental Institution.

Neil Patrick Harris and husband David Burtka will also make guest appearances this season. Harris will portray "a chameleon salesman," while Burtka will be involved in "a sexy storyline" with freak show manager Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange).

Rabe has appeared on all three previous seasons of American Horror Story, and is currently involved with ABC series The Whispers. The actress will portray Claire Bennigan on the sci-fi drama, which is scheduled to premiere in 2015.
