The witches are back, the legends are back, and the Ryan Murphy universe just said “let me remind you who runs horror television.”

The cast for American Horror Story Season 13 has been announced and it is genuinely one of the most iconic lineups this show has ever seen.

Ready for this? Ariana Grande, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange.

Yes, you read that right. The girlies are returning. The scream queens are assembling. The original coven energy is rising once again.

Ryan Murphy confirmed the news on Instagram with a teaser that instantly broke the internet. The screen flashed one of the most legendary lines in AHS history: “Surprise, bitch. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.” A little Madison Montgomery moment for the culture.

The new season is set to premiere Halloween night, October 31st, 2026, which already tells you everything. Witches, chaos, power, glamour, revenge, and probably one scene that lives in your head forever.

We don’t have a full synopsis yet, but let’s be honest… with this cast, it already feels like a Coven and Apocalypse reunion, and I couldn’t be more here for it.

We are entering an era, prepare accordingly.
