This Halloween’s lucky number 13th season of “American Horror Story” is set to be an all-star reunion special, with the new season serving as a sequel to all previous seasons.
It’s the Avengers: Endgame of the “AHS” universe, you could say, and Vogue brings us a series of first-look images today that reveal all the returning stars and characters.
Returning players include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Jessica Lange, and Billie Lourd, each playing multiple characters from the show’s past.
That means Sarah Paulson will play Cordelia Goode, Jessica Lange will play Constance Langdon, Evan Peters will play Kai Anderson, and John Carroll Lynch will play Twisty the Clown from “American Horror Story: Freak Show”… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Creator Ryan Murphy tells Vogue this week, “So I just thought the number 13 was infused with so much stuff in the horror genre, and I wanted to do a greatest hits season.”
“I didn’t want to just do a Coven reboot. Everybody thinks that’s what it is; it’s not. I was very interested in the greatest villains we’ve done,” Murphy goes on to tease. “And I felt that they only would come together if we had a new story anchored by a new person.”
“American Horror Story” Season 13 premieres September 24 on FX and Hulu.
FX promises “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.
Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Frances Conroy also star in “AHS 13.” Newcomers include Mena Suvari, Berto Colon, and John Waters.
Mena Suvari will be playing the infamous Black Dahlia. Check out a first look below.
