American Horror Story's biggest star is officially moving on. In a panel at PaleyFest, Jessica Lange — who has starred in each of the FX horror drama's four seasons to date — will not appear in the show's upcoming fifth season, titled American Horror Story: Hotel.

"Yes, I'm done," said Lange. "We've had a great run here. I absolutely loved doing these four characters, and in all madness, I love the writers, and [series creator Ryan Murphy], and the insanity of shooting it."
