Happy Halloween, Arianators. Ryan Murphy has announced the main cast of the upcoming 13th season of American Horror Story, which will feature Ariana Grande making her debut on the show alongside series regulars such as Evan Peters and Emma Roberts.
The news was revealed Friday (Oct. 31), with the Glee creator’s production company sharing a video on Instagram unveiling the stars on next season’s billing set to Vera Lynn’s cover of “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The Wicked leading lady’s name was revealed fifth in the lineup, following Peters, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates — each of whom are beloved members of the AHS universe.
Also returning to the show is Jessica Lange, who hasn’t participated in a season since 2018. Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman will also share the screen for season 13.
AHS isn’t the first Murphy project Grande will have starred in, with the Grammy winner playing Sonya Herfmann — aka “Chanel No. 2” — on Scream Queens in 2015. The next season of AHS will be a Scream Queens reunion of sorts, as both Roberts and Lourd costarred with Grande in the latter project.
The Victorious alum has also previously worked with Peters, who played her love interest in the music video for Billboard Hot 100-topper “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love).”
Grande has been actively filling up her resume with more acting projects since starring in Wicked, for which she earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress. In July, it was announced that she will voice a character in Jon M. Chu’s film adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
On the same day the AHS casting news dropped, Grande also wrapped filming on Focker in-Law, the next installment of the Meet the Parents franchise premiering in 2026. On Instagram, the vocalist celebrated the conclusion of the project by sharing photos of herself on set with her castmates and writing, “these past few months have been so, so unimaginably special. i love my Fockers, and i love my Byrnes… so, so very much. i will miss this bunch terribly.”

Outside of a few cameos, an SNL hosting stint, and her reality TV empire, Kim Kardashian has steered relatively clear of proper acting roles, until now. Today (July 20), the businesswoman and media personality appeared in the first official teaser for American Horror Story: Delicate. Serving as the twelfth installment in Ryan Murphy’s beloved Emmy-winning […]
Kim Kardashian is a reality star, entrepreneur and skincare mogul — and now she’s adding high-profile actress to her list.
The SKIMS founder is joining Emma Roberts in FX’s American Horror Story for its 12th season, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the role she’ll take on was written specifically for her.
“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” said AHS co-creator Ryan Murphy told the publication. “Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”

Filming for the new season is scheduled to begin in New York City later in April with a summer premiere currently scheduled, though Murphy and FX have yet to announce exact details.
Kardashian has had a number of appearances in shows like How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls and Paw Patrol, but the American Horror Story gig is her biggest role to date.
The star took to Instagram to tease the news, sharing a teaser clip featuring eerie music as the screen reads: “Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are delicate.” She captioned the post with a blood drop emoji and eyes emoji.
