The moment fans have been waiting (and fearing) for is finally here: Jessica Lange, High Priestess of American Horror Story, is making her return to the series, and we have the first look.

The show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, took to Instagram Wednesday morning (September 19) to share a glimpse of “Queen Constance,” reincarnated seven years after she first scared fans to death.

“To celebrate 300k followers, here’s a first look at the return of Queen Constance…the one and only Lady Lange…being directed by that dynamo of wit and talent Sarah Paulson. Love them both!” he captioned a photo of the happy-looking pair standing in what appears to be a backyard—the backyard of the OG Murder House, perhaps? While there isn’t a whole lot of context to pick up on in the shot, it does confirm that Lange’s appearance will coincide with the special episode Paulson is directing, which, according to Marie Claire, will be the sixth in the season.

Lange is an American Horror Story legend, having appeared on the first four seasons of the horror anthology, but taking a step away for the past three. She first appeared as Constance in season one’s Murder House, followed by Sister Jude in season two’s Asylum, Fiona Goode in season three’s Coven, and Elsa Mars in season four’s Freak Show. Her roles in Murder House and Coven earned her two Emmys and a Golden Globe, so seeing Constance revived for season eight is so much more exciting.

The highly anticipated new season, which began airing last week, is expected to bring back characters from both the Coven and Murder House iterations of the anthology.

In the AHS universe, many Jessica Langes are clearly better, and scarier, than one.
