When Ryan Murphy called up each of his legacy American Horror Story stars to ask them if they would return for the upcoming 13th season, he couldn’t even get out the full question.
“I couldn’t get the sentence out of my mouth fast enough: ‘Will you come back…’ ‘Yes.’ I was like, ‘Well, OK,'” Murphy tells The Hollywood Reporter with a laugh. That even included Jessica Lange, who hadn’t starred on his and Brad Falchuk’s hit horror anthology in a series regular role since season four’s Freak Show.
“If she had said no, I probably wouldn’t have done it,” he admits.
But Lange said yes. So did Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Billie Lourd, Frances Conroy, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman.
