Called_Cury alá não dá pra comemorar sabe

😢😢😢

The show has been awful for years, good for her for leaving.

I’ll pass

Good. We need new faces. It was hard to keep track of which character(s) she was playing...

We'll miss you Supreme! ☹️

Y'all wasting time making that season then

Just cancel it.

RIP AHS 2011-2019

LexaFishy13 soulthot

lemme tell u rn they gonna regret this decision

throw that shit in the garbage then

Yall she is a busy woman stop being so petty, its sad that she isn’t there but if you stop watching a show because an actor/ress left then you didnt like the show to begin with

😔 NoSoyDrama

don’t even release it

no evan? no sarah? What’s the point in watching?

Last season let me down so hard

AHSFX WHAT THAT FUCK IS WRONG WITH U? YOU BROKE MY HEART!!!! 💔😠😟😩😭

OMG hold up! No Evan Peters either!?!?

😡

I am HONESTLY GUTTED! It won’t be the same! 😭 BUT I’m still excited for the season!

No Evan or Sarah? Is it even right to call it AHS at this point? This is bullshit. Last season should’ve been the series finale.

Help

Capped

Say it isn’t so! First Evan_Peters now MsSarahPaulson ?!? 😩 What the hell AHSFX AHS9_1984 MrRPMurphy BFalchuk ? Thank God we at least know RobertsEmma will be returning, ooooh and hopefully Miss Jessica Lange... she is a boss! love her.

No hay AHS sin SARAH

I’m not watching it. No MsSarahPaulson no me! 😡

Nooooooo she’s always my favorite character!!!!

Hard pass. It’s not AHS without the mighty Sarah Paulson.

This means this show is dying! Should of ended after Apocalypse ( which was awesome). First announced Evan Peters wasnt coming back now Sarah... Im pretty much guessing we are going to have another crap season like Freakshow

Aaaaggggggggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!

Why?

This is such sad news, but her other projects sound very interesting. The ramifications of the ERA & playing Nurse Ratched & givig her backstory. ( One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) It will be season one all over again.. when she was barely had screen time. 😕

Excuse me?

ok bye, cancel it

mizzgooglesuite okay but like what’s the point in watching it then :/

What!!!!

So yet another show is going with the 80’s theme?

:(

devinpauly help I’m dying

wtf

No.

Why

guess we won’t being watching it anymore

are you serious. if she’s not in the next season then there’s literally no point of the show now.

WHAT 😱😱😱😱

DavidAcosta0595 Lloremos juntos.

Jessica, Sarah and Evan. ITS OVER

Excuse me, I need a moment to collect myself.

I'll do it!!! I'll do it!!!!😱😱😱

The office was trash without Steve Carrell. Two and a half men was garbage without Charlie Sheen. AHS is about to be straight DEBRIS without Sarah Paulson. She's out we're out.

Good... Can't stand her!

Booooooooooooooooooooo

Then what’s the point?

bethjack2012 ☹️

_5tronG

MrRPMurphy uhm sir?

No Evan?No Sarah?!?

😩

She must have enough money, i guess.

Really seems like sclusy material, guys.

Triggered

Marissa_Allen97

So they won’t put out a new season until Trump is out of office? I’ve noticed a lot of my favorite shows have been skipping a few years before continuing the series... 🤔

So what your saying is that there won’t be an American Horrot Story this year.... without Sarah it wouldn’t be worth watching

Excuse me?

Sarah Paulson not staring in AHS1984 is the true horror story.

No Evan or Sarah!?

What’s next ? Francesconroy and denisohare aren’t doing it this season either ! Then they cant even call it American Horror Story

What in the actual fuck

:( gaboez1

Good, she's overrated

No Sarah no Evan... the reason I watch the damn show 🤦🏽‍♀️

No Evans, no Paulson, no Lange, so who's the cast?!?

RocioLugoS i-

SarahPaulson not staring in AmericanHorrorStory1984 is the true horror. AmericanHorrorStory

I swear if all I see this season is Emma Roberts smoking a cigarette.. I-

ChristynAllenTV we need to boycott

Then dont make it

kathyisaloser

KEEP IT

Where do I send flowers for the funeral of AHS?

cancel it, i dare you

tanialvarezg

Byeeeeeee

THE FUCK

barossi2 😱😱

Finally! That show went liberal mouth piece hard. The last couple season are beyond dumb and boring. It's like the had a wine night with the ladies and wrote the whole season.

😭😭😭😭😭

WTF?

nah. y’all literally not keeping the actors that made ahs, ahs. no one likes it anymore catch the hint 😭

And Evan Peters.... I can take it.

I’m so fucking pissed about this. What is AHS without Sarah Paulson! 😒

What um nooooo! Sarah sorry but WE NEED TO SEE YOU !!!!

what's the point on doing another season then

bro 🙄 she’s the only reason i still watch this show

Well...that sucks she pretty much every character 💀

What good is it without her

Pass.

NOOOOOOOOOO this show is over

andizetz i’m gonna kill myself

Cancel it then, it stopped being good after 3rd season anyway

No

todo como el orto hacen

I do not accept what you are reporting.

Se aproxima temporada de mierda

This is not my favorite news. Not even a little bit.

First Jessica, then Evan now Sarah Not watching 1984.

I got a little worried when I read the headline too. But she’ll still be in it just not with a major role. I think there are more than enough talented actors in the ensemble to pick up the slack. I’m just hoping that with a title like “1984” it’s not a Stranger Things ripoff.

dantyscooter WHYYY

Awww

ok then

And just like that you’ve lost a viewer.

los odio, me sacaron todo lo bueno

aleemelone ya no tiene sentido

Oh noooo, why? 🥺 she's one of my favorite actress.

Fix it right now

i don't hear ya 🙉 lalalalala

What did they gain?

this show is soooo cancelled omg

Say it ain’t so!! 😱

It's over

lmao just end the show then

my day has been ruined

j7cherrylove so no evan AND no sarah? just cancel the whole show then

:/

If ion see her crying and smoking a cig in every episode ion want it

No Evan, No Jessica, No Sarah..... Im---

booooo

Who cares

I'll take her place! I love the concept of this season

WHHHHYYYY?!?!?!?! NOOOOOO

Thought last season was the last? Even tho they've all been trash after coven.

Ronchosaurus

NOOOO she is such an important part of the show..😔

So now the big 3 aren’t gonna be in this season?

Just cancel the show at this point 😔

Yikesss_1d evan and now her 😭

So what's the point

no sarah, no ahs

the whole thing is cancelled

BILLYTHELIBRA NO

The last 3 seasons have been terrible anyway.

No Evan, no Sarah, no me

Nooooooooooi

Get Jessica Lange back plz and it’ll be ok

This show is still on?

Omg she’s the best, so sad

No Evan no Sarah 😭😭 I am done with the show then.

Why attempt change on a machine not broken, but award winning? A risk at the the cost of your audience. Good luck!

bitch what

No Evan now no Sarah ....

ahs was good while it lasted:’)

lawsmyka 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m sad now :(

lauritapops

Calm down people. This is a wicked bummer but there's great writing on this show and tons of great actors.

cancelled

we dont want it

if evan n sarah ain’t in it i’m not watching period

That sucks that they cancelled their show 😂😂

what is this

Just cancel the show then

Boo

bruh what

What the motherfuckin fuck!!!!! I sincerely hope Mr.'s Falchuck and Murphy have Jessica Lange signed on for a duel role to fill the void!!! Blackest day in ahs history!!!!!!

NO I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS

no point in watching

WTF Erin_Fear_

I stopped after Jessica left. now Sarah’s leaving! Y’all should just stop the production😞💔

Ok. Here’s the deal. We’ll give you Sarah & Evan, but in return, we must get Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Cody Fern. It’s only fair.......yes ?

My god this ain't shaping up well is it! No Evan Sarah or Jessica...... Maybe just knock it on the head, especially as the last season was the best (Apocalypse)

lorrinafaga not watching

Guess I won't watch this season...

No Sarah, no Evan, no Jessica. Who is going to be in it cause none of the others are really worth watching

Oh variety you really didn't do you're research, she will be but it's going to be a small part.

Nooooooo

It want be the same without her!

Wtf this breaks my heart

ellismuirhead omg im so sad

Not the same without her or Evan I'm afraid.

this is upsetting

dld99

Damn RIP AHS

CourtneyEden93 HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WATCH IT

This is so sad. Alexa play despacito.

This sucks 🤬

What ? It’s time to cancel the show !!!! ☹️

Man what

And Here go the ratings this season

This is a fucking OUTRAGE. I’m actually pissed.

WHAT!!!!!! No freaking way!

MsSarahPaulson Is anyone else crying into their pillow right now upon hearing this? She’s brilliant. I don’t think I can watch it without her. If anyone says anything about Evan peters I’ll need 911. Please tell me the rest of the cast is returning in full glory!!!!

Wow. Boooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I won’t be watching that season 😅

No Sarah no Evan.... AHSFX

Bummer, what a shame we won’t see her play literally the same character with a new name... I do love her though.

WIN!!!!! will watch it again! Her screaming and crying constantly pissed me off!!! I got fed up with it every episode

😪

i don’t want it.... KEEP IT

vanesacrubio !!!!

What’s the point of even watching😩

Watch the ratings drop 👎🏼 dramatically. I was upset without Jessica, I was disappointed without Evan, and now I’m just pissed.

THIS IS HOMOPHOBIC

What? Say it isn't so 😳 this is sacrilegious. No Sarah? This is wrong. Just wrong

oh u cannot be serious ... literally carries the show on her back 😐🤚

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Goodbye AHS!!!

laurenrhea24 if the theme was not 80s slasher movie, I would not bother to watch 😪

RachaelKnight now what

dezii1234

This ain’t good

There better be some really fantastic performances if she isn’t there!!!!

Wizard_of_loz 😢

She will be sadly missed..

I am triggered

HER NAME WAS SARAH PAULSON

What a loss, but can’t wait to see whatever Sarah is working on next. I’ll always watch AHS, she was there at the beginning & helped make it what it is.💕

What the heck? Why?!

Ahs has already turned bad

then it’s not AHS lol

This is the day AHS died

deguminator Well cancel this season then

hell nahh

I’m not watching 😡

no way

Good. Time for change!

Nice might be watchable now

Noooooooooooo!!!!

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

What is this world coming to 😕

Well that sucks.

Boooo not watching then

This season is going to suck

Throw the whole season away 😩😧

🙄

it’s not AHS without evan or sarah

ori0n_

lol cancel it

it’s rlly not gonna have the two actors that have been in every season (her and evan peters),,,, shame

Its because the show is played out now. So boring.

Why not

_LivvyHope_ 😭😭😭

I didn't know this show was still on. I quit watching after Roanoke... partly because I thought it was cancelled.

AK_FVO

Bruh wtf 😭 i dont accept this

Then what's the point

No evan and sarah? CANCEL THE SHOW! should’ve stopped after season 5.

No lange, no paulson?!! 😫😫😫

Cast me

shanamacx wtf

😩😩😩

AHS went down the drain after Jessica left anyways. Going political in cult was pretty much the nail in the coffin.

k then cancel it

Are they trying to kill me?

Well, I just lost interest

no evan and no sarah i reallt just dont know what to do with myself

Excuse me

Guess we ain’t watching 🤷🏻‍♂️

All I have left is Cody Fern

And WHY NOT?!?! She is the show!

Looks like that’s a hard pass from me

No Sarah, No Evan, No Jessica Lange. This show is dead and they have lost a viewer.

MsSarahPaulson I hope this is a lie

Good let's get some new blood

Wtf you mean no Cordelia?

Thank God. I love her but tired of her at the same time lol

This is a sin

But why?

'Plot twist... She never really did. She just kinda showed up and wouldn't leave.'- American Horror Story Creators

That's a bummer the 80's were great and Miss Sarah is a Freakin Super Star

You wtf

No Sarah or Evan

Noooooo!

Whyyyyyyyyyyy😭😭😭😭

Just cancel this season tbh

No Jessica Lange, no Evan Peters & no Sarah Paulson.....my relationship with this show is over

Seems like I'm losing more and more reasons to stop caring about this show.

No thank you

We ain’t watching it without Sarah, Evan, or Jessica 🤷🏼‍♂️ This was probably Ryan Murphy’s plan all along since he got the Netflix deal and probably wants to move on.

FilmInquiry 🙀😮😲😯😩

At least I won’t be able to predict the ending this time... she always survives 😭😭😭😭

Cerys_Emily_x

I hope she is not sick many now take off bc of illness now more than ever

Hopefully Lily Rabe will be making a comeback 🙏🙌🙌🧡
