Earlier this week saw it rumoured that Lady Gaga would be returning for the upcoming seventh season of American Horror Story. Seemingly that’s not the case.

The source of the initial rumour was Vogue Magazine, with their recent issue claiming that Gaga would be back for the US election-themed new season. Now, EW has moved to confirm that the singer-turned-actress won’t be back for Season 7. Gaga, of course, famously had a huge role to play in American Horror Story: Hotel – for which she won an Emmy – before having a small role in Roanoke.

Drawing inspiration from last year’s US election, confirmed to return for the new season are Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billy Eichner, Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, Adina Porter, Leslie Grossman, and Colton Haynes.
