Latest News about Jessica Lange
In an interview with Rolling Stone published on 30 October 2026, Jessica Lange said she feels she is 'coming to an end' as an actor. She said some long-planned projects may or may not happen and that it has become harder to get the kind of films that interest her made. She named Long Day's Journey Into Night, in which she plays Mary Tyrone, as a possible final film.
Jessica Lange received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Savannah Film Festival in October 2026. The honour followed a run of similar tributes that month, including Icon Awards at the Newport Beach and Chelsea film festivals and a Visionary Award at the Virginia Film Festival.
The film Long Day's Journey Into Night, directed by Jonathan Kent and starring Lange, Ed Harris and Ben Foster, was released in cinemas in September 2026. It was shot in 2022, and Lange reprised the role of Mary Tyrone she had played in the Broadway revival that won her a Tony Award. The film has received widespread critical praise for her performance.
Jessica Lange returned to television in 2026 for season 13 of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story, reprising four of her earlier characters. She said the chance to revisit those roles was the main reason she agreed to come back.
