Alongside Paulson, the cast is stacked with returning favorites like Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Kathy Bates. But wait, there’s more! The legendary Jessica Lange, who played the fierce Fiona Goode, is making a comeback after swearing she wouldn’t. Murphy shared a tantalizing silhouette of Lange on Instagram, sending fans into a frenzy. The caption read, “American Horror Story, Season 13. Day One. The return of Jessica Lange!”
And let’s not forget the surprise guests: filmmaker John Waters and pop sensation Ariana Grande will also be making appearances in undisclosed roles. If that doesn’t get you hyped, we don’t know what will!
