by EG
Kathy Bates will not be returning for the upcoming season of American Horror Story. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the actress, who has starred in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth seasons, will not be appearing in this year’s installment due to a new project.
According to THR, Bates, 69, had a scheduling conflict with her upcoming Netflix series Disjointed. The Chuck Lorre comedy will be released ahead of AHS on August 25.
While she will be missing out on Cult, Bates could likely appear on future seasons of the Ryan Murphy-created anthology series. Until then, she will be starring in the show as Ruth Whitefeather Feldman, a woman who is living her dream as the owner of a cannabis dispensary. Her character employs her recently graduated son and a group of young "budtenders" to help her run her Los Angeles marijuana shop.
