Good news: American Horror Story is finally coming back! Even better news: Jessica Lange and Evan Peters are returning! And now, we finally have a release date!
In case you hadn't heard, AHS season 13 is finally in the works. Nine returning cast members have been announced so far, including Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett. Ariana Grande has also joined the cast.
In April 2026, Ryan Murphy confirmed that season 13 will return to Miss Robichaux's Academy for another round of Coven madness, and also confirmed the release date window.
Here's everything we know so far about when American Horror Story season 13 is set to be released.
When does AHS season 13 come out?
American Horror Story season 13 release date: When does it come out?
AHS season 13 will be released in September 2026, as confirmed by Murphy in a post confirming that Sarah Paulson would be reprising her role as Coven's Cordelia Goode. He wrote: "The Return of @mssarahcatharinepaulson as Cordelia Goode. The Supreme Rises. And yes we have rebuilt the entire Robichaux Academy. Coming this September."
While we don't have the exact date or episode count just yet, it seems likely that we'll be back on track for a classic AHS September-November run.
Murphy previously teased that AHS 13 would be released in time for Halloween 2026, so it's likely that one of the episodes will air in time for spooky season and could be one of the biggest episodes of the franchise ever. (Halloween? Season 13? What's he got cooking?!)
We'll update this page as soon as we have confirmation of the exact release date.
The long wait for season 13 means it's the longest AHS fans have gone without a new season. AHS: Delicate dropped in September 2023, and ended after a lengthy delay in April 2024.
With the exception of 2020 which had to be postponed because of the pandemic, 2025 was the first ever year that there has been no new season of AHS.
