Evan Peters on Jessica Lange’s ‘American Horror Story’ Return: “We’re All Getting Back Together to Do This Greatest-Hits Season”

When asked if she’d ever return to “American Horror Story” last year, Jessica Lange candidly responded with “Oh, Christ, no!”

As a result, the recent announcement that the Oscar winner would be back for the thirteen season of Ryan Murphy‘s hit series came as a surprise to many — including co-star Evan Peters.

“Ryan knows how to have those dinners. He will get you in a second,” Peters told THR of Lange’s return. “I was definitely shocked, but thrilled, honestly.”

As for what drew him back, Peters commented, “First of all, it’s working with Ryan again, but second of all, he’s assembled the cast from all the different seasons.”

He continued, “It’s sort of an alumni, and we’re all getting back together to do this greatest-hits season. So we’ll see what he writes and what it brings. But just the chance to be able to work with Sarah, Jessica, Kathy, Angela again and everybody involved. I’m interested to see what the scenes are and how it all plays out.”

Lange starred in the first four seasons of “American Horror Story,” while Peters has led nine seasons.

Season 13 will also see the return of Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman, in addition to newcomer Ariana Grande.

“American Horror Story” is expected to begin filming soon for a Halloween 2026 premiere on FX.
