One thing we’ve come to expect from every single season of FX’s “American Horror Story” is a great performance from Evan Peters, who has been with the anthology horror series from the very beginning. But at WonderCon over the weekend, Peters confirmed the sad news that he won’t be back for this year’s ninth season.

“I’m gonna sit this season out,” Peters told reporters.

We don’t know much about Season 9 at this time, but it has been confirmed by Ryan Murphy that Emma Roberts will be back, starring alongside Olympic medalist Gus Kenworthy.

Stay tuned for more.
