The Legendary Comeback
Jessica Lange came back to AHS after an 11-year gap. The actress, aged 76, who left the show in 2014, won the hearts of viewers with characters like Constance Langdon, Sister Jude Martin, Fiona Goode, and Elsa Mars. Her return has energised fans all over social media.
Pop superstar Ariana Grande is also joining her, who has not been on television since 2015 in ‘Scream Queens’. This comes even as Grande is set to go on her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour and reprise her role as Glinda in the ‘Wicked’ sequel.
Star-studded cast
The Season 13 lineup is like an AHS Hall of Fame. Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, and Emma Roberts have all been confirmed. Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman are also among the cast.
Coven Connection
And many think that Season 13 will return to the classic “Coven” and “Apocalypse” plots. The release date of Halloween 2026 suggests a witch-themed story. Murphy even included Emma Roberts and her famous catchphrase in the teaser: “Surprise, b***h”.
The long wait
AHS Season 13 airs October 31, 2026. This is the longest break between seasons since the debut of the show in 2011. The last season, “Delicate,” ended in April 2024, which means fans have a two-year break.
The horror genre became even more exciting.
