I’ve been talking to her. It’s always possible. I’m trying to deal with her play schedule. Jessica is always about the character. She’ll be back—she’s not gone forever. But that’s the fun and fresh thing about the show: sometimes somebody has to go away before you realize how much you miss them. She wants to come back we just have to come up with something.”
— American Horror Story producer Ryan Murphy telling EW good news for fans of the actress who left the hit series to star in the upcoming Broadway revival of Long Day’s Journey Into Night

They should definitely work something out. The show will be shit without her.
Spike
@Masc Pride: Agreed, they will jump the shark with season making ALL about Gaga, rather then the story and character, and then she will be back.

Oh, I do hope so

Why would ANY producer/director in Hollywood NOT want Jessica Lange on board? It’s a no-brainer.

At one point, the rumor was that Michelle Pfeiffer would be on board this season. Was that just a rumor?

She’s too good for this show. The characters never go anywhere before they’re killed off randomly for no real reason. No actual story is ever really told. It’s a joke.
Lange managed to make crap into gold with her performances. If there was a real story to go with it this show would’ve been unstoppable.

Ok I know hearing this is gonna make some so happy they will shout ” I’m the new Supreme” then go and kill the neighbor lady 🙂 https://vine.co/v/OdHg5gVIeWd

It peaked at season 2 and kind of revived during season 4 but I don’t think it will ever fully recover from Coven and the tackiness it invoked. AHS was nominated for like 17 Emmys in the second season then Ryan Murphy really undercut and sabotaged his own project by condescending to the mythos. Suddenly it became about bitchcraft, shock value, and dropped subplots whereas before it was really gripping.
Throw Gaga into the mix and it just went 10 levels up on the style-over-substance scale. Jessica Lange could at least make Ryan Murphy’s Whatever Happened to Baby Jane motifs interesting.

Each season I need Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett!!!

Oh, I hope not.
