The team behind American Horror Story handed out a Halloween treat to fans, by unveiling the star-studded cast list for season 13 of the horror anthology.
In an Oct. 31 Instagram post, Ryan Murphy Productions shared the list of names set to a recording of “I’ll Be Seeing You” by Vera Lynn.
The season 13 cast includes returning franchise stars Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman.

Two-time Oscar winner Jessica Lange is also making a return to the series, after a couple of seasons away.
New to the franchise is Ariana Grande, who previously had a role on Murphy’s short-lived comedy series Scream Queens. Grande will next be seen in the film Wicked: For Good, which opens Nov. 21.
The AHS teaser ends with the message saying: “Surprise, b–h! I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” in a nod to Emma Roberts’ season 3 character Madison Montgomery.
AHS season 12 titled American Horror Story: Delicate premiered on FX in September 2023, with part 2 debuting in April 2024. The season featured Kim Kardashian alongside Roberts, Lourd, Grossman, Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Denis O’Hare, Cara Delevingne, Julie White, and Maaz Ali.
The story centered on fictional actress Anna Victoria Alcott, who after multiple failed attempts at IVF, wanted nothing more than to start a family. But she felt like something was targeting her and blocking her dream of motherhood.
The theme for the 13th season has not yet been revealed.
Ryan Murphy co-created the anthology series with Brad Falchuk, which is produced by 20th Television and Ryan Murphy productions.
The franchise premiered in 2011, and has earned Emmy Awards for Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and James Cromwell.
Season 13 of American Horror Story will premiere in October 2026, just in time for Halloween.
