ABC recently announced that they would be picking up The Whispers for the 2014-2015 TV season. With Rabe as the leading star, it is suggested that she will not be able to also star in American Horror Story in season 4.

Rabe has been a part of American Horror Story since season 1. She first appeared as baby-obsessed Nora in the first season. She then had a memorable turn as Sister Mary Eunice in American Horror Story: Asylum. For American Horror Story: Coven, the actress appeared as Misty Day, the young swamp witch obsessed with Stevie Nicks.

Gabourey Sidibe's Status On American Horror Story Put In Question?

Rabe is one of only two actors who might not be returning after starring in Coven. It has previously been announced that stars Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jamie Brewer, Frances Conroy, Denis O'Hare, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts and Gabourey Sidibe would all be appeared in season 4's Freak Show in some capacity.

Only Rabe and Taissa Farmiga have not been confirmed as returning for season 4. Farmiga is busy filming a horror movie called The Final Girls while Rabe is likely going to be very busy filming The Whispers.

American Horror Story: Freak Show premieres in fall 2014 on FX, though the network has not yet announced a specific air date.
