Connie Britton Returning to “American Horror Story” Alongside Dylan McDermott
As we told you last night, “Murder House” star Dylan McDermott has been spotted on the set of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” this week, confirming that he’ll be returning to the FX series this year. Not surprisingly, The Wrap now reports that Connie Britton is also back!
Presumably, McDermott and Britton will be reprising the roles of married couple Ben Harmon and Vivien Harmon, but anything is possible in the world of “AHS.”
The new season mashes together “Murder House” and “Coven,” and Jessica Lange will be reprising the role of “Murder House” character Constance Langdon.
Cody Fern (“Assassination of Gianni Versace”) will be playing the adult version of Tate’s evil baby from “Murder House.” He’s not just evil, he’s the Anti-Christ.
Also confirmed are Sarah Paulson as Cordelia Foxx, Billie Dean Howard AND a new character, Emma Roberts as Madison Montgomery, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Joan Collins, Cheyenne Jackson, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, Billy Eichner and Adina Porter.
Just recently announced, Taissa Farmiga, Gabourey Sidibe, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy and Stevie Nicks are all coming back as well.
Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (“UnReal”) and Kyle Allen (“The Path”) recently joined the cast, both actors appearing in a “guest” capacity.
“Apocalypse” ends the world and stars anew on September 12.
“American Horror Story” lucky season 13 will be an all-star reunion in more ways than one. Ryan Murphy teased an Avengers-level new season that sees returning players take on multiple roles.
The return of Jessica Lange and first images had many speculating that the 13th season of FX’s anthology series would pick up from “Coven.” It turns out that’s only partially accurate.
Murphy revealed to Entertainment Tonight that the new season is a sequel to “all seasons combined.”
Murphy continued, “So Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters, and of course Kathy Bates and Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd. It’s like the Avengers! They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
To be fair, that is hinted at in the film’s official synopsis: “An unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone’s most feared number. Bringing together an all-star cast, many of whom are reprising fan-favorite roles, American Horror Story: 13 continues to build on the anthology’s decades-long legacy that has been streamed more than 700 million hours across the globe and spawned a legion of dedicated fans.”
“American HorrorStory has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself. Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise.”
The detail that this all-star cast would take on every iteration they’ve played throughout twelve seasons, though, is new.
Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, John Carroll Lynch, and Mat Fraser also star.
Newcomers this season include Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Berto Colon (“The Night Agent”), and cult filmmaker John Waters.
