Evan Peters, who impressively played various roles in every season of American Horror Story, is reportedly sitting out the upcoming season of the show. And in an interview during the WonderCon red carpet, his apparent leave was finally confirmed.
Upon confirmation, this has become very sad news for the whole American Horror Story fandom. As it happens, his acts and roles were tremendously praised by the fans and viewers because they provide justice to the show's theme and setting. This is why a lot of people are instantly asking as to how the new season will move forward considering the fact that one of its greatest actors is now out of the picture.
There is not much information about his immediate leave. But this caused a lot of rumors, questions, and noises to the public as Evan Peters is one of the only three actors who consistently play a role on American Horror Story for all seasons. Hence, many fans speculate that this decision was solely based on his recently ended relationship with Emma Roberts.
As you may know, Emma Roberts and Evan Peters were engaged since 2014. However, news and headlines earlier this month revealed that the two have already called-off the engagement. While the former couple did not elaborate on the details of their decision, there are reports stating that Emma Roberts is already dating Garrett Hedlund according to People.
With these things at hand, it is only safe for some people to assume that Evan Peters is leaving the American Horror Story because Emma Roberts is returning. Nevertheless, the former couple did not bother to comment on this speculation.
On another perspective, there are reports as well that Evan Peters is sitting this new season out because of exhaustion. According to Celebrity Insider, an interview with the actor last year revealed that playing his roles on American Horror Story often bleeds into his real life. And this is not something that any actor would want regardless of the success, popularity, and fame.
It has also been unveiled recently that he felt really "burnt out" playing several roles on the show which can naturally justify why he is leaving and taking a break. Additionally, some reports revealed that Evan Peters is busy with other projects including the upcoming X-Men film, Dark Apocalypse.
But while these speculations may be all true, the actor has not yet shared his sentiments toward these new reports.
