American Horror Story season 13 details are coming into focus from the boss himself.
While promoting his latest series, The Shards, Ryan Murphy teased to Entertainment Tonight on Monday that the highly anticipated 13th season of the FX horror anthology will reunite fan favorites including Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett and Sarah Paulson — and in what capacity. Although recent set photos from filming in New York City led many fans to believe the season would revisit Coven, Murphy said that’s only part of the story.
“Everybody thinks it’s a Coven season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons,” he said. “Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters… It is like the Avengers. They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
Murphy went on to explain how he convinced several longtime stars to return, including Lange. The actress exited the series after 2014’s Freak Show, aside from reprising Constance Langdon (from season one’s Murder House) in 2018’s Apocalypse, and has long said she had no plans to return.
