“American Horror Story” has been renewed for its 14th season at FX.
The news comes ahead of the Oct. 29 finale of Season 13, which reunites franchise legends Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman.
Other returning stars include Frances Conroy, Jamie Brewer, John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari and Mat Fraser, as well as Seth Gabel, who appeared in the spinoff “American Horror Stories.” Season 13 cast members who are new to the franchise include Joey Pollari, Avantika, Elle Chapman, Berto Colon, Alex Consani, Seth Gabel, Orlando Jones, Paul Anthony Kelly, Tig Notaro, Madelaine Petsch, Fedor Steer, Zach Villa, John Waters and more. Pollari plays a hospice care worker with a phobia of the number 13 who is tasked with taking care of characters from previous “American Horror Story” seasons; hence the volume of returning stars.
Season 13 opened with 4 million views in four days, the best streaming performance of any premiere in the series’ history — a significant feat especially given the three-year hiatus following the 2023 premiere of Season 12, “Delicate.”
Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, “American Horror Story” is FX’s longest-running hour-long series and has driven more than 2 billion hours of engagement since the launch of Season 1 in 2011. Season 13 is executive produced by Murphy, Falchuk, Ned Martel, Charlie Carver, Eric Kovtun, Nissa Diederich, Scott Robertson, Tanase Popa, Crystle Roberson Dorsey, Jennifer Salt and Tim Minear. 20th Television is the studio.
