American Horror Story will be seeing some major changes next season. The very possible lack of Jessica Lange is one of them but even so, there will be a few faces who are rumored to be returning next season.
Freak Show Was The Worst Season Of American Horror Story And Here's Why
Among those who have expressed their willingness to return are Lily Rabe, Michael Chiklis, Kathy Bates, and Angela Basset, according to Breathecast.
Most of these actors have only done one or two previous seasons with the exception of Lily Rabe who, of course, has done all four seasons. Perhaps their willingness to return has a little something to do with the fact that their parts were all a bit smaller so there was a good deal of time for them to do other things and not be worn out by production.
With key actors leaving or at least taking lesser roles in production, this leaves a lot of space for some others to really shine. Basset was intriguing as Desiree Dupree in Freak Show but there wasn't much of her. The same can be said for Michael Chiklis as well who storyline in the last season wasn't as well fleshed out as it could have been.
Casting is completely left up to Ryan Murphy however and he's not spilling on who will be coming back. Without Lange and Sarah Paulson returning however, it would be nice to some of the other fabulous actors start to take center stage.
