At this point, we know all about the freaks on the upcoming season of American Horror Story, and now we have pictures to boot! Photos from the premiere of Freak Show introduce Kathy Bates as the bearded lady, Evan Peters as a boy with mutated hands, Angela Bassett as a three-breasted woman, and Jessica Lange as the ringleader of the whole strange collection of souls. Plus, we even have a shot of Pepper, AHS's first crossover character! The new season premieres this Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX.

Michael Chiklis stars as Dell Toledo, a "strongman" who is married to Desiree Dupree, a three-breasted woman played by Angela Bassett.

Kathy Bates plays Ethel, Dell's bearded ex-wife.

Keeping it in the family, Evan Peters is Jimmy Darling, Ethel and Dell's son. Notice the hands.

The world's smallest woman, Jyoti Amge, is also in the freak show.

Poor Jimmy Darling. His trailer is so shabby.

More members of the freak show, including the man from one of the latest teasers!

Is that Pepper (Naomi Grossman) back there on the left?

Dell rocks a white tank top and some suspenders. Classic sideshow look.

The freaks play cards to pass the time.

Dell and his son have a face-to-face. Seriously, look at those hands.

This reunion looks less than enthusiastic.

And finally, the ringmaster herself! Jessica Lange as Elsa Mars.

Jimmy is used to being Elsa's right-hand man. We'll see how that dynamic shifts with Dell's arrival to the freak show.

Here's our first look at Pepper (Naomi Grossman), the first American Horror Story character to cross over (she was in Asylum).

The entrance to the freak show is truly terrifying.
