Overview
- Ryan Murphy disclosed on July 28 that Season 13 will merge characters and storylines from all previous AHS seasons in a single crossover event.
- Key returning performers will play multiple roles, with Murphy saying Sarah Paulson will portray six or seven characters, Jessica Lange will reprise all four of her iconic roles, and Evan Peters will play five parts.
- The season is set to run 13 episodes and will premiere Sept. 24, 2026 on FX with next-day streaming on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally.
- Murphy said his pitch persuaded several actors who had previously declined to return to the show, though Ariana Grande has already exited because her tour schedule conflicted with production.
- Filming is active in New York City and the season reframes earlier Coven rumors into a broader anthology-wide story that aims to reunite legacy cast members and tap the series' large streaming audience.
