Summary
- Jessica Lange is returning to American Horror Story after an eight-year hiatus.

- Season 13 features a star-studded cast of "AHS" regulars and guests.

Jessica Lange is set to return for the 13th season of "American Horror Story," marking her first appearance in the series in eight years. This casting news has generated significant excitement, especially since Lange had previously stated her intention not to return to the show. She famously declared in 2025 that she was "not doing it" anymore after more than a decade away.
Lange, an original cast member, first appeared in Season 1 as Constance Langdon. She subsequently portrayed Sister Jude Martin, Fiona Goode, and Elsa Mars in early seasons. Her brief return in Season 8 reprised her role as Constance. It remains unknown if she will play Constance again or introduce a new character in Season 13.
The upcoming season boasts an ensemble cast including "AHS" veterans like Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Kathy Bates. The cast also features Ariana Grande, reuniting with "AHS" co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
