American Horror Story Season 13 returning and new stars

Some of the most loved stars of the show over the years are returning for Season 13. Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, and Angela Bassett are going to reprise their Season 3 roles as Cordelia Goode, Madison Montgomery, Queenie, and Marie Laveau, respectively.

Evan Peters is returning as his Season 5 character, James Patrick March, and Billie Lourd is returning as her Season 8 character, Mallory. John Carroll Lynch and Mat Fraser are returning as their Season 4 characters Twisty the Clown and Paul the Illustrated Seal, respectively.

Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange are also returning for the upcoming season, but what characters they will play is yet to be revealed. Ariana Grande, John Waters, Joey Pollari, Alex Consani, Paul Anthony Kelly, Madelaine Petsch, Mena Suvari, and Berto Colón are newcomers joining the show for Season 13.

An exact storyline of the upcoming season is yet to be revealed, but since many cast members are reprising their roles from Season 3, which is also known as Coven, it seems that Season 13 might lean heavily into Coven's story. We might see a continuation of the characters after the final events of Coven or a new story revolving the same characters along with some new ones.

Ahead of the premiere of American Horror Story Season 13, the stars of the show are going to make their appearance at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con a memorable one. Not only will they be at the event, but so will be ice cream trucks that will offer strange sweet treats inspired by earlier stories of the anthology series.
