Angela Bassett Confirms She's Returning For American Horror Story Season 6

Angela Basset has appeared on three seasons of American Horror Story: playing Marie Laveau/Voodoo Queen in Coven, Desiree Dupree in Freak Show, and Ramona Royale in Hotel. She has earned two Emmy nominations for her work on the show, but will the talented actress be back for another season?

"I am," Bassett revealed to Larry King. "Yeah, I signed up after that first year."

She was then asked to explain why AHS has been so successful. "I have no idea. I can't, but I can appreciate it," she began. "With the first one, there was a little history, but there was also a little tongue and cheek, not taking itself too seriously, a little over the top theatricality. I think all those things, all that mix, and then little comments on culture and the times and sexism and racism and ageism. A little of not being afraid to address those issues."

Listen to Bassett's comments in the video below.

Larry King's entire interview with Angela Bassett will premiere Wednesday, March 2nd at 11am PST/ 2pm EST on www.ora.tv/larrykingnow. Aside from American Horror Story, Bassett discusses many of her iconic roles, including Rosa Parks as Tina Turner, as well as sharing her love for Hillary Clinton.

American Horror Story Season 6 will debut next fall.
