American Horror Story Season 13: Ariana Grande's Absence and Impressive Cast Lineup
FX's American Horror Story Season 13 is set to premiere on Sept. 24, 2026, but fans were disappointed to learn that Ariana Grande will not be making her debut in the series due to scheduling conflicts with her Eternal Sunshine Tour. Grande had previously appeared in Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens in 2015. Despite Grande's absence, the cast for Season 13 is impressive, with returning veterans like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters, as well as newcomers like Paul Anthony Kelly and Berto Colón. The new season, simply titled "13," is expected to revisit characters from previous seasons, including Cordelia Goode and Constance Langdon. FX promises that Season 13 will live up to its ominous number, but fans will miss seeing Grande in the mix.
