Sarah Paulson will not star on the upcoming ninth season of “American Horror Story,” titled “American Horror Story: 1984,” TheWrap has learned.
The “AHS” alum has appeared on every previous season of the Ryan Murphy-created FX anthology series, usually in a leading role. For Season 8, titled “AHS: Apocalypse,” she played a total of three roles and also directed an episode. The only previous season in which Paulson did not have a significant part was the first, “Murder House.” She has been nominated for five Emmys for her roles on the series.
It is currently unclear if Paulson — who is currently filming Murphy’s upcoming Netflix series “Ratched,” in which she has the lead role — will appear on Season 9, set to premiere Sept.
