The comeback we needed
Get ready, because the queen is officially returning to the Coven. Jessica Lange is set to reprise her iconic characters for the upcoming 13th season of American Horror Story, and honestly? The vibes are immaculate. Creator Ryan Murphy dropped the tea at the season 13 premiere in NYC on September 23, joking that he used a very liquid method to convince her: “Alcohol!”
The deal of a lifetime
Real talk, it wasn’t just a night out that sealed the deal. Murphy revealed that Lange was initially a hard “no” on returning, even telling a reporter “Christ no!” when asked about it a year ago. Murphy didn't take the L; he invited her to dinner to pitch a specific vision.
Lange confirmed on Live With Kelly and Mark that she had a non-negotiable request: “I’ll come back if I can do all four characters.” Murphy agreed, and now we get to see the legend back in her element. Murphy shared that working with her has “changed” his life, noting how cool it is that horror has evolved into such a respected genre since they started back in the day. It’s giving main character energy, and we are here for it.
