Overview
- FX confirmed that American Horror Story: 13 will premiere Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026 on FX and Hulu in the U.S. with international streaming on Disney+.
- Creator Ryan Murphy has assembled an all‑star reunion that includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman.
- Multiple outlets reported on Friday, July 10, that Ariana Grande will not appear in the season because production date changes conflicted with her ongoing Eternal Sunshine Tour and she did not film any scenes.
- Cast members were photographed filming in New York City in Coven‑style costumes, and FX will promote the season at San Diego Comic‑Con with themed ice cream trucks and teaser art, all signaling a legacy‑focused rollout.
- The scheduling clash that cost Grande the role highlights how major concert tours can interfere with TV production and the season’s reunion emphasis raises realistic expectations that AHS will revisit past storylines such as Coven.
