It's sad to see a fan favorite leave a show, but nothing can compare to Evan Peters' absence from 'American Horror Story's next season. In a heartbreaking announcement, 'AHS' star Evan Peters, who has been a consistent part of Ryan Murphy's TV horror legacy, has said that he will be taking a break from the show in the upcoming ninth season.  "I’m gonna sit a season out," he reportedly told press outlets at WonderCon last week but since the series has been greenlit for a season 10 as well, this hiatus will perhaps be only for one season.
