Normally, we can get kinda numb and roll our eyes at the ways some shows roll out their cast. But when your cast includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Ariana Grande, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and John Waters, that's a huge difference. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's American Horror Story has been rolling out looks at some of the big names back in their AHS roles as a new "Coven" season approaches. For this go-around, we're getting a look at Roberts's Madison Montgomery – except this time, we're getting a video message.

"[Emma Roberts] Returns as Madison Montgomery. AHS 13 September," read the caption to the Instagram post, leaving it to Madison to offer a proper greeting:
"AHS 13. The Return of [Sarah Paulson] as Cordelia Goode. The Supreme Rises. And yes we have rebuilt the entire Robichaux Academy. Coming this September," read the caption to the Instagram post, which you can check out below:
"American Horror Story, Season 13. Day One. The return of Jessica Lange!" read the caption to Ryan Murphy Productions' Instagram post from earlier this week, which included three images of Lange:
Checking in with Variety on the red carpet for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art + Film Gala 2025 back in November 2025, Bassett offered some early thoughts on the news and how it feels returning to the AHS Universe. In the clip below, Bassett acknowledged the news while teasing that she didn't know who she might be playing. From there, Bassett shared that she had hoped to return to the series and that they would find a way to make it work with production on ABC's 9-1-1.
As for Grande officially joining the AHS Universe, Bassett had nothing but kind words for Grande's work ethic and that she's confident that the "Wicked" star will do just fine as a part of the all-star ensemble cast (with the reporter making the excellent point that Grande now has experience playing a witch, and let's not forget her turn as Piccola Grande, aka The Pickle Queen, in Showtime's Jim Carrey-starring Kidding).
