Don’t expect Jessica Lange to return to the American Horror Story universe anytime soon.

The actress appeared in five seasons of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology series but Lange seems to be done with it.

While appearing at the Glasgow Film Festival for the premiere of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, an Irish radio station asked her if she would be returning to the horror series.

“Oh Christ, no,” Lange said. “I mean, I haven’t done it for more than 10 years, 12 years, so, no, I’m not doing it.”

The interviewer told Lange that Season 13 of American Horror Story could be the final one for the series and asked if that would move her to return.

Lange has a long history with the American Horror Story franchise. She was part of the inaugural season in 2011, which was retroactively dubbed Murder House. Lange played the role of intrusive neighbor Constance Langdon in Season 1 of the FX drama.

Lange returned to American Horror Story for Season 2, dubbed Asylum, as Sister Jude Martin. In 2013, she played Fiona Goode in American Horror Story: Coven (Season 3), while in 2014, she took on the role of Elsa Mars for American Horror Story: Freak Show (Season 4).

Lange’s last appearance in the American Horror Story franchise was in 2018 when she reprised her Murder House role of Constance Langdon for American Horror Story: Apocalypse in two episodes.

Aside from the horror series, Lange also worked with Murphy on Feud: Bette and Joan in 2017, where she starred as Joan Crawford and received a producer credit. In 2019, Lange played the role of Dusty in Murphy’s The Politician.

Most recently, Lange appeared in Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans playing the role of Lillie Mae Faulk. Lange also received a co-producer credit in the anthology series.
