Murphy, who approached Lange during a dinner meeting, pitched the upcoming installment as a "greatest hits" collection. Despite Lange’s long-standing insistence that her tenure with the show was finished, the prospect of returning to the screen for a specific type of performance swayed her. The actress has a history of embracing musical sequences on the show, despite having no formal vocal training, previously taking on hits by David Bowie and Lana Del Rey in earlier seasons.
While social media rumors suggested the new season might be a reboot of the fan-favorite "Coven," Murphy explicitly denied these theories. The showrunner, who returned to the director's chair for episodes one and three of the new season, described the project as a fresh narrative anchored by legacy characters. He hinted that the stakes for the upcoming season surpass anything previously seen, noting that the "ultimate evil" will be "above the pay grade" of the Antichrist. The season, which features a mix of returning stars like Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters alongside newcomers like John Waters, is scheduled for a September 24 premiere.
