Last month Jessica Lange dropped a bombshell when she announced she would be leaving
American Horror Story after season 4, now she’s revealing what brought her to the decision.
Since
American Horror Story began Jessica Lange has become the face of the series. But fans will only have Lange for one more season after
Coven ends. There’s one very simple reason for her exit on the show, however, it comes down to its great commitment.
“It ends up being a lot of time during the year being committed to something,” Lange tells Entertainment Weekly in an interview. She goes on to explain that
American Horror Story was the first major commitment she’s had in a long time
It sounds as though the actress is simply in need of time off, and it’s no secret the series is emotionally wearing on the actors. Plus Lange has played the main role in
American Horror Story for the past two seasons.
Lange says, “This is a 6-month commitment every year. That will be four years in a row. I want to have more time to myself I guess. Once it’s over and I have a full year ahead of me with nothing to do, who knows? It might not have been the best decision. But I think four years doing something is a sufficient amount of time.”
Although the theme for
American Horror Story season 4 is not yet known, Lange will not be playing the lead role. We’re sure that whatever character she does play will still be amazing
