Filming has started on the 13th season of American Horror Story, and fans are getting a sneak peek at Jessica Lange’s return to the show.
The actress, known for her roles in the first four seasons of the FX horror series, will be the lead in the next season, which is scheduled to debut around Halloween 2026.
Ryan Murphy, the show’s executive producer, recently shared some initial photos on Instagram hinting at the character’s return. The images show the actress from behind, looking out a large window.

Last Halloween, it was revealed that the beloved actor would be back for season 13. Joining them will be other familiar faces from American Horror Story, including Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, and Emma Roberts.
We don’t yet know which actors will be cast, or if they’ll be playing the same characters they’ve portrayed on American Horror Story before.
Season 13 will also feature Ariana Grande, though her specific role hasn’t been announced yet.
Lange first joined the series in 2011 with its first season, ‘Murder House.’ She continued to appear in subsequent seasons – ‘Asylum,’ ‘Coven,’ ‘Freak Show,’ and ultimately in ‘Apocalypse,’ which aired in 2018.
The actor had previously stated they wouldn’t be returning to American Horror Story.
When asked if she would reprise her role in the horror series at the Glasgow Film Festival in early 2025, she firmly stated, “Absolutely not.” She explained she hadn’t been involved for over a decade, making a return unlikely.
The show was picked up for three additional seasons in 2020, and the recently completed thirteenth season was the last of those ordered.
You can now stream all seasons of American Horror Story on Disney+ in the UK. Subscriptions to Disney+ start at £4.99 per month or £79.90 for a year.
