'American Horror Story Apocalypse': Kathy Bates reveals her character is still developing as 'the Bible of Mead is being written'

Actress Kathy Bates who plays the role of Miriam Mead, the robot who is bonded to Michael Langdon, the Antichrist, says that her character is still developing.

We knew there was something off about Miriam Mead when we were introduced to her in the season premiere of 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse'. She looked like a soldier but behaved like a schemer. We knew she was evil at first glance but nothing prepared us for the bomb that dropped later - she was actually a robot all along! What's more, we were told that she was actually from team Antichrist Michael Langdon. 

'AHS' veteran Kathy Bates, who is absolutely stunning as the mechanical Mead revealed in a recent interview with Variety that although she did know about the robot side of things, Mead's character is still developing. "I knew she was a robot; I knew she was faithful to Venable; I knew she worked for the Cooperative. But Mead is being caught between Venable and her duty. The bible [of Mead] is being written as each episode is being delivered to me," she said. More twists along the way? We certainly think so!
