Jessica Lange is Probably Coming Back to “American Horror Story”
Season 7 starts filming soon, but Ryan Murphy is already thinking ahead.
Jessica Lange was a mainstay on FX’s “American Horror Story” for its first four seasons, but she departed the show after “Freak Show” wrapped up. From what we heard at the time, Lange was stepping away from the series for good – but if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s to never say never when it comes to the entertainment business.
As you’ve probably heard, a future season of “American Horror Story” (likely eight or nine, both of which FX has already ordered) will mash together the worlds of “Murder House” and “Coven,” which has led many to speculate that Jessica Lange will be making her return. And in a new chat with Screen Rant, Murphy seemed to indicate that the plan is indeed to bring her back.
The series co-creator told the site:
I think she would [come back] if I bribed her enough, you know? I haven’t really talked to her about it at all because we are still figuring out that story, but I think we do want to do that.
Sarah Paulson recently teased that she’d love to reprise the role of “Coven” character Cordelia Foxx, and it now seems likely that we’ll meet up with Lange’s characters Constance Langdon (“Murder House”) and/or Fiona Goode (“Coven”) in the crossover season. Here’s what Murphy recently said about his plans for the eighth or ninth season:
It’s a character from season 1 that will be thrust into the world that you are left with at the end of Coven, which is sort of like the male/female/witch academy. And then all of those characters will intertwine, which is confusing because some of them are from seasons 1 and 3. Like, Sarah Paulson will probably be playing 18 characters.
Sounds like literally ANYTHING is possible in the world of “American Horror Story.”

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
