Evan Peters may not be a part of American Horror Story: 1984, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's left Ryan Murphy's TV franchise for good.

The actor is joining the ranks of Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett and Jessica Lange as American Horror Story mainstays who have stepped away from the show, with Peters making the decision to skip the upcoming ninth season.

Digital Spy recently spoke to Peters about his new film X-Men: Dark Phoenix, while also asking him if he'd consider going back to American Horror Story for a future season.

"Yeah, absolutely, never say never," he assured us exclusively. "I just… Yeah, we'll see what happens."

Thus far, Ryan Murphy has confirmed that the slasher movie-inspired 1984 season will feature returning cast member Emma Roberts and Olympian Gus Kenworthy as her boyfriend.

Sarah Paulson has appeared in every season of American Horror Story thus far, but she admitted last month that she "doesn't really know the answer" to if she'll be a part of American Horror Story: 1984.

"I think... all I can say is I know the least about this season upcoming that I've known about any season. I don't even know... yeah, that's all I can say," she told Syfy in April.

She added: "Usually, I have more information at this point, and I'm bugging Ryan [Murphy] with questions. Right now, I don't have a lot and yeah, I'm so busy with Ratched, it's hard for me to think about anything beyond that."
