Jessica Lange recently mentioned that the upcoming fourth season of American Horror Story would be her last, but she had made similar comments during the past seasons. Now, she and Ryan Murphy have confirmed that she'll only be returning for one more season. Here's what Jessica Lange had to tell EW about her reason for leaving and it does leave a glimmer of hope that she may return for future seasons:

"It ends up being a lot of time during the year being committed to something... I haven’t done that for a long time. It’s like doing a stage play between the rehearsal and the run. 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."

When asked about her part in the fourth season, Ryan Murphy revealed that she won't have a lead role, but that she'll have a "great juicy part" as her swan song. For a few more tidbits about what we can expect from American Horror Story's fourth season, head over to EW.
