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.”
