However, she remained tight-lipped about whether it was a full role or a cameo, adding: "I can't promise you how or when or anything like that."
The news comes just weeks after the 29-year-old took home the best performance by an actress in a limited series or motion picture made for television award at the 2016 Golden Globes. She beat the like of more established actresses such as Queen Latifah, Kirsten Dunst, Sarah Hay and Felicity Huffman.
It was previously reported that the show's creators have focused on Slender Man – a black-suited character with long arms who stalks children, which originated from an internet meme – in the forthcoming series. Slender Man was the brainchild of Eric Knudsen, also known as Victor Surge, in 2009.
The haunting character has since appeared in several games and is set to appear in some upcoming films after becoming a horror icon. FX chief John Landgraf revealed in January that the new story will be "principally set in the present". "Someone else wrote the script, and AHS wants to adapt it to fit the show," an insider from the show reportedly told US Weekly.
"They have to buy the rights. Then they're going to figure out the cast from there."
FX has yet to announce an official premiere date for American Horror Story Season 6.
