In a video shared on Halloween, Ryan Murphy confirmed the cast for the upcoming season of the series, expected to premiere in 2026.

The cast of AHS13 includes Ariana Grande, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange.

“Surprise, bitch. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” read a quote in the teaser.

The quote was delivered by Emma Roberts’ character, Madison Montgomery, from the American Horror Story: Coven season.

The cast announced for Season 13 are all actors who have worked in the Ryan Murphy universe before. Grande starred in the satirical slasher series Scream Queens, playing Chanel #2. AHS13 will reunite Grande with her co-stars Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd, who played Chanel Oberlin and Chanel #3, respectively.

Jessica Lange’s return to AHS comes after she said earlier this year she would not return to the franchise.

While appearing at the Glasgow Film Festival for the premiere of Long Day’s Journey Into Night, an Irish radio station asked her if she would be returning to the horror series.

“Oh Christ, no,” Lange said. “I mean, I haven’t done it for more than 10 years, 12 years, so, no, I’m not doing it.”

Lange has a long history with the American Horror Story franchise. She was part of the inaugural season in 2011, which was retroactively dubbed Murder House. Lange played the role of intrusive neighbor Constance Langdon in Season 1 of the FX drama.

Roberts is a frequent collaborator with Murphy in the AHS universe, having recently starred in Delicate. She had previously appeared in Freak Show, Cult, Apocalypse, and 1984.

Similarly, Peters and Paulson have played different characters in AHS, dating back to the original season, Murder House. They both would return for Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, Roanoke, Cult, Apocalypse, and Double Feature.

Angela Bassett, who co-produces 9-1-1 with Murphy, returns to the AHS franchise for Season 13. She joined the anthology series in Coven, playing the role of Marie Laveau. Bassett would return for Freak Show, Hotel, Roanoke, and reprise her Coven role in Apocalypse.
