Fans have been clamoring for more time with Cordelia Goode and her coven of witches since the third season of American Horror Story aired, and now their wish is finally being granted.
Creator Ryan Murphy has officially confirmed that season 13 will be a continuation of AHS: Coven, one of the most beloved seasons of the horror anthology series.
Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but some of the main cast have been announced, and according to Murphy’s social media posts, filming on season 3 began on April 6.
So as the popular show’s 13th season gets underway, fans are wondering what they can expect to see from Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies.
Who will star in 'American Horror Story' season 13?
Sarah Paulson will be reprising her role as Cordelia Foxx, alongside Emma Roberts as Madison Montgomery. Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, and Kathy Bates are also returning and will likely take on the same roles they played in season 3.
Jessica Lange, a frequent AHS star who played Fiona Goode in Coven, had previously said she had no plans to return to the show, but surprised fans when it was announced that she would be starring in season 13.
Billie Lourd is also returning and will likely be reprising her role as a witchy pupil from AHS: Apocalypse. Leslie Gross, who has appeared in multiple seasons of the show, will return for the upcoming season, but it is unclear which characters she will play.
The “Pope of Trash” John Waters will also be joining the cast in an undisclosed role.
What will 'American Horror Story' season 13 be about?
It’s unclear exactly what the plot of season 13 will be, but it will follow the characters we met in AHS: Coven, who reprised their roles in AHS: Apocalypse.
When the witches turned up for a second time in season 8, we found out that Mallory (Lourde), a very powerful pupil at Robichaux Academy, was destined to surpass Cordelia as the next Supreme, so it’s possible the upcoming season will continue that plot line.
When will the show premiere?
The new season was originally planned to premiere on October 31, 2026, as the perfect Halloween celebration, but since then, Murphy has posted on social media that the show is “Coming in September.”
Why are the gays so excited?
AHS: Coven was a fave among the gays because of the powerful women at the center of the story, the insane fashion and hairstyles (remember Frances Conroy's bright orange do?), and the campy (and delightfully bitchy) acting coming from Emma Roberts.
Since the news about the cast started coming in earlier this week, social media has been abuzz!
