The ultimate crossover
Besties, it is officially time to get scared. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are blessing our screens with Season 13 of American Horror Story, and the cast list is basically a hall of fame of our favorite scream queens. Forget what you thought you knew about the plot; this isn't just another witchy season. It is a massive, franchise-wide crossover event that connects characters and lore from all over the AHS universe.
The dream team is back
The cast list is honestly giving main character energy. We are talking the return of icons like Jessica Lange—who we haven't seen in a lead role since Freak Show in 2014—alongside Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman. If that wasn't enough to make you scream, Ariana Grande is making her grand debut in the franchise following her Wicked era. It is truly a legendary reunion, no cap.
How to watch
Season 13 drops today, Sept. 24, with a three-episode premiere. You can catch the chaos at 9 p.m. ET on FX, or stream it all on Hulu. The season is packed into 13 half-hour episodes and will wrap up on Oct. 29. Say less, we know exactly what we are doing tonight.
Why it matters
This season is a major love letter to long-time fans by bringing back legacy characters and actors that have defined the show for over a decade. Combining a massive veteran cast with a pop culture superstar like Ariana Grande is a total power move that keeps the long-running series feeling fresh and highly relevant.
