Overview
- Ryan Murphy Productions, which posted “Day One” photos Monday, confirmed Jessica Lange’s return and the start of Season 13 filming.
- Returning AHS mainstays include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman, with Ariana Grande and John Waters joining.
- The season is slated to debut around Halloween 2026 on FX, which would be the first new AHS run since Season 12 ended in 2024.
- Plot and roles remain unannounced, though Lange’s blue dress and beehive updo recall Constance Langdon and Ryan Murphy’s “Done” reply to a fan request for a Coven extension has fueled speculation.
- Lange last appeared in 2018’s Apocalypse and said in early 2025 she would not return, making her comeback an attention‑grabbing shift after an eight‑year gap.
