Jessica Lange bluntly shuts down American Horror Story question
Jessica Lange is really done with American Horror Story.
The actor starred in the first five seasons of Monster showrunner Ryan Murphy 's long-running anthology series, playing a variety of characters across each.
Lange's swansong on the show, in 2018's Apocalypse, saw her reprise the role of Constance Langdon, the character she won an Emmy for playing for her work in the first ever season, Murder House.
With the forthcoming 13th season rumoured to be the last one, many fans are hopeful that Lange could make a return – but it seems they won't get their wish.
The Oscar-winning star, 75, was asked about the subject during an appearance at the Glasgow Film Festival, where she was prompting a new version of Eugene O'Neill play Long Day's Journey Into Night, and when asked if she'll be in new episodes, she said: 'Oh, Christ no.'
'I mean, I haven't done it for more than 10 years, 12 years, so, no, I'm not doing it,' Lange told SPIN1038.
The interviewer then alerted Lange to the fact that season 13 could be the last and asked her if this notion would make her reconsider. Lange, smiling, replied: 'No.'
Murphy has found huge success with the American Horror Story format, translating it into American Crime Story and American Sports Story, which focused on the rise and fall of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez.
Over the years, American Horror Story, which regularly stars Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson and Zachary Quinto, starred high-profile figures including Kathy Bates, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian.
To date, American Crime Story has focused on the OJ Simpson case, the assassination of fashion designer Gianni Versace and the Bill Clinton–Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Lange has also worked with Murphy on the series Feud, which depicted the rivalry between Hollywood stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
Murphy, who collaborates on the American Horror Story shows with Brad Falchuk, has emulated his anthology success on Netflix with the Monster franchise.
Season one saw him reunite with Peters for a controversial series focused on Jeffrey Dahmer while season two depicted the 1989 murders of José and Kitty Menendez by their sons Lyle and Erik.

Eagle-eyed fans spot VERY surprising nod to Taylor Swift in Travis Kelce's gym bag
Travis Kelce caught the eye of observant Taylor Swift fans on Tuesday as he was spotted with a surprising tribute to the singer in his gym bag. Kelce was seen in athletic wear and a backwards white baseball cap as he carried around a zebra print gym bag in Florida. And eagle-eyed fans of Swift's noticed that the singer's 'Eras Tour Book' was peeking out, with what looked like its pink cover barely visible. Pictures of the Chiefs tight end and Swift's boyfriend appearing to hold the book went viral on X, as one fan wrote: 'HELLO IS THAT THE ERAS TOUR BOOK???' while zooming into his bag. 'Travis misses eras tour just as much as us,' another wrote. And a third suggested: 'He is probably bringing an autograph copy to someone at the gym.' Swift released the book to commemorate her world-famous Eras Tour, which spanned 149 shows Swift's world-famous Eras Tour ran nearly two years from March 17, 2023 to December 8, 2024. The tour featured 149 shows across five continents, with the last performance coming in Vancouver, Canada. And Kelce followed his girlfriend around the world as she performed last summer, even making an onstage cameo at her show at Wembley Stadium in London. After his high-octane offseason last year, Kelce has been taking it easier following the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles, as he was spotted in Florida on Tuesday. The Chiefs star, who has been spending plenty of time in Florida of late, remained in the Sunshine State despite the beginning of optional team activities (OTAs) back in Missouri. Over the weekend, Travis went to a family wedding and brought along his pop star girlfriend, Swift, as a date. Swift gave guests the shock of a lifetime after joining Kelce to celebrate his cousin, Tanner Corum, tying the knot at a barnhouse in Nashville on Friday. On Monday, Kelce was seen enjoying himself at a golf event at the Kiawah Island resort in South Carolina. He posed with former Panthers and Bears tight end Greg Olsen, as Kelce smiled and pointed his finger at the former NFL star. Kelce recently cheered his girlfriend on after she announced on Instagram that she had bought back control of her first six albums. Fans spotted that Kelce liked the post on Instagram, while his friend and teammate, Patrick Mahomes , even re-posted the news on X.

Jaw-dropping moment Bridgerton actress has phone stolen in Joe & The Juice
Genevieve Chenneour, who plays Miss Clara Livingston in Netflix hit Bridgeton, defended herself after Zacariah Boulares struck in a branch of Joe & The Juice in Kensington, west London These dramatic images show a Bridgerton actress bravely defend herself from a teenage thug who pinches her phone in a trendy coffee shop. CCTV captures Genevieve Chenneour, 27, fight back in front of stunned customers in the Joe & The Juice in Kensington, west London, after Zacariah Boulares, 18, had pounced. The teenage thug admitted robbery and possession of an offensive weapon and will be sentenced next month. Ms Chenneour, born in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, said: "They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did. Getting a coffee shouldn't be something you need your wits about you for. I'm so grateful to the staff at Joe & The Juice – they were incredible during the incident and when I went back to see them after." It has now emerged Boulares, a serial phone thief, threatened to behead singer Aled Jones during a terrifying Rolex robbery in Chiswick, west London, in July 2023 - when the yob was just 16. He was sentenced to a two-year term at a youth detention centre, but was released after just 14 months - and able to carry out more crimes, including the one at the Joe & The Juice. Stills from the CCTV at the juice bar show the hooded Boulares lurking behind the actress, who was out with a friend walking her dog. He took the star's phone and assaulted another customer, Carlo Kurcishi. But Ms Chenneour, who has played Miss Clara Livingston in Bridgerton since season three, quickly leapt into action and took down the thief with the help of her friend. The fearless actress put her arm out to block the thief from leaving and then dislodged the phone from his hand. Retrieving the iPhone from the floor, she then used the device to strike Boulares who was left helpless on the floor. The tussle would continue for four minutes, after which the humbled yob left the café without the phone. Police were called to reports of theft and an assault on February 8. Boulares appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on May 29, where he pleaded guilty to stealing the phone and assaulting Mr Kurcishi. He also admitted stealing a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant in London's West End on 30 January this year. The teenager, an Algerian national, was remanded into custody and will now be sentenced on July 17 at Isleworth Crown Court in west London. A source was previously quoted as saying: "Genevieve showed real bravery throughout. It was a very shocking incident. It shows what is happening on London's streets on a daily basis." More than 70,000 phones were snatched in London in 2024, out of an estimated 100,000 thefts across the UK. Joe & The Juice, founded in 2002 in Copenhagen, has nearly 400 coffee shops across Europe, Asia and North America. The Mirror has approached the group for comment.
