“Yes, I’m done.  We’ve had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I’ve had the opportunity to play. In all the madness, I’ve loved the writers, my actors, Ryan and the whole, I mean, insanity of it, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, the stories, everything.  It was my absolute favorite. We had a great run.”  These are the words uttered by AHS star Jessica Lange confirming that she will not be a part of the cast for the fifth installment of the AHS series.

Jessica Lange and American Horror Story Returning for Season 4

With American Horror Story: Coven about to wrap up it’s phenomenal season (seriously, this should have been made into a regular series!) co-creator Ryan Murphy (Glee) has let loose on some details of what to expect for the show’s fourth season.

First up, Jessica Lange will be back!  It was noted late last year that Coven would be her last with the franchise but Murphy confirmed that Lange will indeed be back along with the news that Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates (both whom are new comers to the AHS series)  have been approached to return too.

Keep an eye out for little hints sprinkled about the final few episodes of Coven that will reference to where season 4 will be going.  Says Murphy “It’s set in 1950, if you look historically what happened in the year 1950, there’s some more clues in that year. It’s a period piece. We try and do the opposite of what we’ve done before. Jessica Lange has already started practicing her German accent so I’m very excited!”

The 1950’s setting and German accent has fans speculating that series four will take place around the Cold War which took place right after World War II and lasted for most of the 20th century.

This season of AHS has proved to be the most popular yet, pulling in just under 8 million American viewers weekly (up 83% in total viewers over season 2!)

AHS: Coven airs Monday nights on Channel 11.

The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks – the title of American Horror Story: Coven’s next episode (airing Jan 13th on 11) will see the legendary singer not only sing in the episode but offer up a famous shawl twirl with Misty Day (Lily Rabe).

With tensions rising within the coven, the search for the new supreme leads current supreme Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) to bring in the White Witch – (a witchy version of Stevie Nicks) in order to feel out the current powers of Misty Day – the front runner for Fiona’s replacement.

The Fleetwood Mac singer said that she’s never seen a horror movie in her life, or any of the previous seasons of “American Horror Story.” She gave “Coven” a shot and said, “I’m watching the show going, ‘Oh my god, this is the most twisted thing I’ve ever seen.'” But it only took the first two episodes for Nicks to say she was “definitely in.”
