Lana Winters is a daring reporter who went undercover at the titular asylum to investigate an inmate who was purported to be the notorious serial killer "Bloody Face". She eventually escaped the killer and got out of the asylum.

This won't be the first time Paulson has a double role. In the last installment "Hotel", the Emmy-winning actress played Sally before reprising her "Murder House" role Billie Dean Howard.

"AHS: Roanoke" airs Wednesdays at 10 P.M. on FX.
