Though "The Secret Circle" was, sadly, canceled by The CW, it's safe to say that star Chris Zylka is still having a pretty fantastic summer. He and "Pretty Little Liars" girlfriend Lucy Hale are so adorable we could just die, and he's got a prime role in this summer's upcoming blockbuster "The Amazing Spider-Man."

Now, Zylka has announced that he's joining Ryan Murphy's scare fare anthology "American Horror Story" in its second season. On Thursday night -- after attending the spectacular "Amazing Spider-Man" premiere in Los Angeles, Zylka tweeted that he's "pleased, honored, humbled, and thrilled" to join the show.

No confirmation yet on his role, but we do know that producers have been looking for an "brilliant, inventive" actor to play an 18-year-old who has an "offbeat, could-be scary" side to him. After seeing his work on "The Secret Circle," Zylka seems to be a natural fit.

This season, "American Horror Story" will be set in the 1960s, in a New England asylum for the criminally insane. Jessica Lange returns, this time leaving Constance behind to play a devout "Bride of Christ" nun who is the administrator of the institution.

滬江娛樂快訊：盡管《秘社》（The Secret Circle 左上）已經(jīng)遺憾地被CW臺取消，但“杰克”克里斯·齊爾卡（ Chris Zylka ）的今夏依舊精彩。他和《美少女的謊言》（Pretty Little Liars）女主演露西·海爾（ Lucy Hale 左下）正在熱戀，有愛極了。同時他還在即將上映的夏季大片《神奇蜘蛛俠》（The Amazing Spider-Man 右上）中出演了一個主要角色。

近日，齊爾卡宣布他將加盟瑞恩·墨菲（Ryan Murphy）制作的驚悚劇集《美國恐怖故事》（American Horror Story）第二季。本周四，在出席了《神奇蜘蛛俠》盛大的洛杉磯首映禮后，他在推特上透露即將加盟《美國恐怖故事》第二季，并感到“非常榮幸，受寵若驚”。

雖然還不清楚他會扮演什么角色，但早前制片人曾透露他們在尋找一位“極有才華又有創(chuàng)新力”的演員，去扮演一個有著可怕陰暗面的18歲男孩。經(jīng)歷了《秘社》的“黑魔法”訓(xùn)練后，齊爾卡似乎很適合這個新角色。

《美國恐怖故事》第二季設(shè)置在1960年新英格蘭地區(qū)精神病人收容所里。杰西卡·朗格（Jessica Lange）再度回歸，并將顛覆上一季的恐怖鄰居康斯坦丁（Constance）形象。此次她將扮演一位虔誠的基督教修女，同時也是這間醫(yī)院的管理者。

《美國恐怖故事》預(yù)計將于今年10月回歸。
