- Actors had to drive themselves home from filming at 4 AM.
- Lange returned for season 13 after demanding to play four roles.

During a recent PaleyFest event, Jessica Lange shared a humorous anecdote about her experience on the set of American Horror Story, specifically criticizing FX for its production practices. Lange, a celebrated actress known for her role as Fiona Goode, revealed that the network allegedly refused to provide cars for the cast. This meant that actors, including herself, had to drive themselves home in the early morning hours, often parking on streets in the French Quarter after finishing filming at 4:00 or 5:00 AM. Lange expressed that this issue, stemming from the show's filming in New Orleans, remains a "bone of contention" for her, attributing the decision to the network being "too cheap" to arrange transport. Lange reprised her role in season 13, which aired after her previous appearance in Freak Show (2014-2015). Her return came with a specific condition: she would only participate if allowed to portray four of her iconic characters from previous seasons. This season also saw the return of other familiar faces from the American Horror Story universe.
