You'd better sit down, the fans of American Horror Story, because Ryan Murphy has just given you something that is really worth to faint: Jessica Lange returns in the role of Constance Langdon on the set of Apocalypse.
"To celebrate 300,000 followers, here is a first glimpse of Queen Constance's return … the one and only Lady Lange … led by this dynamo of wit and talent, Sarah Paulson. I like both of them! The creator of the FX anthology series has subtitled a photo he posted on Instagram on Wednesday from Paulson (who directs the cast). and direction this season) and franchise alum Lange, laughing on the set.
Lange left the series after season 4, aka "Freak Show". And although she previously said that she would not come back, Paulson revealed in July that Lange would actually be back for Season 8, aka the "Murder House" / "Coven" crossover.

"I have the great pleasure of letting you know that yes, she will come back," Paulson told TheWrap during TCA's press tour. "Jessica will be back as Constance in an episode I'm going to perform." Lange will be the guest of episode 6 of the season of 10 episodes.
"AHS" fans have begun to demand a return from Lange (even more than they usually do) when Murphy announced in June that the upcoming season would be the mashup very excited. The actress's suspicions of return came to a head when Murphy announced that he had launched Cody Fern, the star of the assassination of Gianni Versace, as an adult Michael Langdon.
Why? Because in "Murder House", Michael was one of two twins that Vivien (Connie Britton) died after being raped by Tate (Evan Peters). Tate's mother, Constance, adopted her demonic offspring, who was last seen laughing like a toddler, covered in blood, after murdering her guardian in the season one final.

7. "Hotel" – Season 5
Murphy took Lady Gaga to the head of the fifth season, in a California hotel that is truly inhospitable to her living and dead guests, after former bursary Jessica Lange left the show at the end of "Freak Show." So, yes, "Hotel" is – and will probably always be – the most rustic of all seasons, since the star was brought to bear the story.

6. "Coven" – Season 3
The third installment, a story of witches past and present in New Orleans, was Jessica Lange at her Jessica Lange-iest. The queen of Murphyland played the role of "supreme", aka the leader of the coven holder, who fights to keep control as his body deteriorates. And she confronted newcomer Emma Roberts – an arrogant young witch seeking to dethrone her eldest – who brought the whole camp up to 11 years old.

5. "Cult" – Season 7
A season centered on the 2016 presidential election had to be a little melodramatic, given the actual events she had known as a starting point. Things get darker, but Evan Peters (who ended up with Sarah Paulson for the first time) rubs Cheetos' face and Billy Eichner makes his debut. So he oscillates savagely between horrible and hilarious.

4. "Roanoke" – Season 6
"Roanoke" was a unique season, a story in history that connects all previous years, thus officially declaring a shared "AHS" universe. But because of the way the season was broken, she jumped between horrible events of the past and more mundane incidents in the present. So, "Roanoke" just goes in the middle.

3. "Freak Show" – Season 4
The Coven camp disappeared in the fourth season, when Murphy brought things back to reality with his group of monsters. It was a season filled with more internal fears, centered on characters with external characteristics that distinguished them from the rest of society. But that was also Lange's slice of farewell, so she had to chew the stage – and sing more than one song – like Elsa Mars, the flamboyant leader of the outcasts.

1. "Murder House" – Season 1
Whoever has triggered everything ends this list as the scariest of creeps. The episodes follow the Harmon family as they move into the residence, completely ignoring all the blood shed before them. "Murder House" ends with the entire clan dead, stuck in their forever home – with Michael Langdon aka Antichrist (whose Vivien, the character of Connie Britton died, giving birth to) alive well, grew up just beside. Oh and …

… come "Apocalypse", Michael is an adult, played by Cody Fern, and rock a serious "do". And that is literally the. end. of. the world. So, yes, at the moment, we would say that season 1 and season 3 mashup will be a real wedge between camp and creep.
