As was suggested before American Horror Story: Freak Show started airing, Jessica Lange has now confirmed that she’s ‘done’ with the show. While it may be sad to lose her, that doesn’t mean the next season won’t be getting a great cast – and it’s also getting a good quotient of gayness – as Vulture reports that at the LA TV Festival it was revealed Cheyenne Jackson and Matt Bomer will both appear in the upcoming American Horror Story: Hotel.
They join the previously announced Lady Gaga, with Bomer hopefully getting more screentime this time around than his brief appearance in Asylum. Jackson meanwhile is an AHS virgin.
There’s no news on who they might play, or indeed which of the other ‘regular’ actors wil return. Sarah Paulson has suggested she’d be happy to return if the scheduling works out, while Denis O’Hare also appears to be close to agreeing to do it.
Of her decision to leave, Lange didn’t give a full reason as to why she doesn’t want to stick around (in fact, quite the opposite), but did say, “We’ve had a great run. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters, and in all the madness, I loved the writers, actors, Ryan, the whole insanity of it, the stories, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, everything… To cut to the chase, yes, I’m done.”
American Horror Story: Hotel will start airing on TV towards the end of 2015.
