This season, American Horror Story is taking a page from the record books.

The FX anthology series has just cast Jyoti Amge, the world's smallest living woman, E! News has confirmed. The 20-year-old Indian woman proudly holds that title, standing at 2' 0.6" according to the Limca Book of Records and Guinness Book of Records, and now she'll hold a new title: AHS: Freak Show cast member.

While we don't know any details about which character Amge will play, this season will focus on what purports to be the last freak show in America.

Set in 1952 in Jupiter, Fla., the new season stars AHS frequent flyers Lange, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett and Frances Conroy, plus newbies Patti LaBelle, Michael Chiklis, Wes Bentley and John Carroll Lynch.
