Created by Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story redefined the horror genre on TV by presenting stories set in different settings, such as a terrifying asylum, a mansion inhabited by witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel, and the apocalypse itself.

This is the 13th installment of the series created by Ryan Murphy, which premiered in 2011. American Horror Story has already racked up 16 Emmy Awards over the course of its previous 12 seasons. For the newest season, Murphy wants to acknowledge his previous work: “Everybody thinks it’s a Coven season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons,” he said in a interview for The Hollywood Reporter. 

John Carroll Lynch will return as Twisty the Clown, a villain introduced in the 4th season. Mat Fraser will also reprise his role as Paul, the Illustrated Seal Man. Mena Suvari and Berto Colón have been confirmed as new additions to the cast. Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Jessica Lange are returning to their previous personas to add to the ensemble. 

The series is set to return September 24 exclusively on Hulu and FX and Disney+ for international audiences, with episodes premiering every Thursday. The first three episodes will arrive on premiere day.
