Potential Mega Guest Stars Revealed for AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season 4 - Reese Witherspoon, Michael Chiklis & Michelle Pfeiffer!

American Horror Story has been attracting high-profile stars over the course of its three seasons, including Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, James Cromwell, Patti LuPone and Joseph Fiennes. Ryan Murphy talking to the press this week, shared the details of his hopes for who he's trying to land for the hit show's next season.

So, who's on the wish list?

"Well, every year I got to Reese Witherspoon," Murphy told Entertainment Weekly in its latest edition. "I want her to play something really Twisted and f-ed up. But she's always booked."

Other high-profile actors on Murphy's wish-list include Michael Chiklis and Michelle Pfeiffer. Murphy is also trying to get Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton to appear on Coven after their star appearances in American Horror Story season 1.

The current season, American Horror Story: Coven tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. Over three hundred years have passed since the turbulent days of Salem and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe, who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona, the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.

Each season of the show, created and produced by Murphy and Brad Falchuk is conceived as its own miniseries season and is broadcast on FX. The first season, subsequently re-titled American Horror Story: Murder House, takes place in 2011 and follows the story of a family that moves into a home haunted by its former occupants. The second season, titled American Horror Story: Asylum, takes place in 1964 and follows the stories of the inhabitants of an institution for the criminally insane.
