It’s a very good day to be an "American Horror Story" fan. Not only was the FX anthology series just renewed for three more seasons, but former staple Sarah Paulson has revealed that she’s rejoining the team in 2020.

Paulson, who appeared at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Thursday to promote the upcoming FX series "Mrs. America", confirmed the news.

“I did ask Ryan [Murphy] if the question was asked to me, could I say that I was coming back, and he said, ‘Yes, you could say.’ So, yes I will be back on American Horror Story.”

"It was shooting exactly when American Horror Story was shooting, and I thought there was no way I could do both," Paulson tells Vulture of her composite Alice Macray role on the FX on Hulu women's liberation series. "At that point, they didn’t know what they were going to be able to offer me, how much I would be in it, and what I would even be doing. There were two roles, Alice being the one that was more interesting to me. I was the second person cast, which was weird since I play the only non-iconic historical figure in the piece."
