Cloquet Native Jessica Lange Returning To 'American Horror Story'

Have no fear! I know I am not the only one that panicked when Jessica Lange hinted at retirement a few years back. She did an interview with The Telegraph in October of 2023.

In the interview, she said she can't see herself acting much longer. No one could blame her - she's been a mainstay in Hollywood for decades and deserves a nice, long break.

It seems she had a change of heart - lucky for us! She just booked her next role and it is bringing her back to one of her best roles ever, in my opinion.

The news broke on Friday (October 31st) which was perfect, considering the role is very spooky and fitting for Halloween. Let's dive in!

Jessica Lange's Northern Minnesota Connection

If you're a big fan of the star, you probably already know that she hails from Cloquet! She never let Hollywood go to her head. She is still spotted in the Northland all the time and loves her Minnesota roots.

She even brings the biggest names in Hollywood to our neck of the woods: a few years ago, she was spotted dining with director James Cameron. Yes, that James Cameron. The rumor at that time was that they were scouting locations around Duluth for an upcoming film. Hmmm....

Many other past cast members from the show will also be returning for a super-sized season. This is going to be huge! You can check out the teaser below but please note, there is profanity near the end of it.

Jessica said in a recent interview that she would never return to the show, even for the last season, citing that she hasn't done it for more than a decade. It looks like she was trying to pull one over on us.

She was in four seasons of the show and now, she will be in five! She won several awards for her part on the show, including Emmy awards, a SAG award and more. I can't wait to see the new season. Best news ever!
