It's been over eighteen months since the last time we had a season of American Horror Story. Yesterday, we finally got some news about the upcoming thirteenth season.

If American Horror Story was anything like Rupaul's Drag Race, then Season 13 is about to be one of the All Stars editions of that franchise. Ryan Murphy finally decided to go big and go home for what could be the final season of the long running horror series.
Returning for Season 13 are Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman and Billie Lourd respectively. Joining the cast is Ariana Grande, who'll be enchanting cinema goers this month with Wicked: For Good (November 21st).

The whole cast was announced by Ryan Murphy through his Instagram account. Also, going by a choice quote from a particular character, it's safe to infer that the yet to be titled upcoming season will be a follow up to both Coven and Apocalypse.
I think it's also very that given the returns of such heavy weights as Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett that this could also be the final season of American Horror Story. FX have not renewed the show beyond it's upcoming season and Ryan Murphy's priorities have definitely been elsewhere.
Thirteen seasons feels like a good number to end the show on and I expect that announcement will come when the season officially begins shooting. As for American Horror Stories, we're still in the dark about that show's fate but I'm not anticipating it returning any time soon or at all tbh.
American Horror Story - Season 13 will start filming next year for a Halloween 2026 launch on FX/Hulu. I'll post more information when it's revealed.
