American Horror Story’s Jessica Lange will be done after Season 4

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

This is a pretty big blow to FX's "American Horror Story" as well as its fans because without the presence of Jessica Lange, who has been the lead in every season so far, the show is going to miss a huge part of what makes it so damn good. Lange has been turning in some unforgettable performances on the show, and it's sad news hearing that she'll be bowing out after the fourth season. In short, what I'm trying to say is that this sucks balls, huge sweaty balls.

Jessica Lange is halfway into filming Season 3 of "American Horror Story" and though she’s relishing in her character Fiona Goode’s sleek stilettos, there is an end in sight. “I’ll do one more season,” she tells Buzzfeed. Just a couple of weeks ago, “American Horror Story” co-creator Ryan Murphy said, “Every year, she says, ‘OK, that’s my last one.’” But after Season 4, Lange will say goodbye to the series for good. “That’ll be it,” she tells the site. So there you have it folks, Lange will officially be done after the fourth season. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Over three hundred years have passed since the turbulent days of Salem and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe, who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own. Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona, the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.

"American Horror Story: Coven" airs on Wednesdays at 10pm and stars, among many others, Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Patti Lupone, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Taissa Farmiga, Denis O'Hare, Josh Hamilton and Frances Conroy.
