AHS Season 13: Coven, Hotel, Murder House Return

American Horror Story's upcoming Season 13 promises a nostalgic journey, drawing inspiration from its acclaimed early seasons. Showrunner Ryan Murphy described the season as a unique blend of 'Murder House,' 'Coven,' and 'Hotel,' emphasizing its fan-centric approach. The creative team delved into fan theories on TikTok and YouTube to shape the narrative, aiming to acknowledge viewer input.

Key characters are set to return, though Lady Gaga will not be part of this installment due to a recent birth. However, fans can anticipate seeing Gabourey Sidibe's Queenie explore her voodoo powers and Angela Bassett's Marie Laveau interacting with Jessica Lange's Constance Langdon. Jessica Lange and Billie Lourd are also slated for increased screen time, with Murphy expressing his particular fondness for writing Lange's Constance.

Further fan favorites reappearing include Mena Suvari as Elizabeth Short, the Black Dahlia from 'Murder House,' and Leslie Grossman as Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt, whose unique abilities will be explored. Newcomers Paul Anthony Kelly and Joey Pollari will also join the ensemble, with Pollari portraying a character haunted by the number 13 and working alongside Constance Langdon. Sarah Paulson noted that portraying her kindest character, the Supreme, was surprisingly challenging.
