Jessica Lange is back in the horror fold — and she’s not holding back on the behind-the-scenes gripes. The Oscar winner, returning to American Horror Story for Season 13 after a six-year absence, didn’t just reprise her four iconic roles from earlier seasons. She also took a sharp jab at FX during a PaleyFest panel, calling the network ‘too fucking cheap’ to provide transport home after late-night shoots.
'We had to drive ourselves,' she said, recalling grueling nights filming Coven in New Orleans, where cast members would park their cars on random streets in the French Quarter and walk home at 4 or 5 a.m. Sarah Paulson, her longtime co-star, laughed along, but the moment wasn’t just a throwback. It was a bone of contention, as Lange put it, still simmering years later.
The revelation lands as AHS: 13 premieres, with Lange reprising Constance Langdon, Sister Jude Martin, Cordelia Goode, and Elsa Mars. All of whom she originally played across the show’s first four seasons. She told Good Morning America that the chance to bring them back, plus one undisclosed mystery role, was the only reason she returned.
