'American Horror Story' Is Going 'Avengers'—and Adding Ariana Grande, to Boot

Ryan Murphy is Bringing the Avengers of Horror in Season 13 of American Horror Story

The mastermind behind American Horror Story has announced his latest move: he's pulling out all the stops for season 13, which promises to reunite some of the biggest stars from across the series' history. And, if that wasn't enough, it also includes an unexpected guest - pop sensation Ariana Grande.

According to reports, Grande will join forces with Murphy once again after her appearance in Wicked: For Good and her stint as a college student-turned-killer on Scream Queens, alongside co-stars Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd. This marks a fascinating shift for the 28-year-old singer who got her acting chops in these horror-comedy thrillers.

The ensemble will be filled with returning heavy hitters from across previous seasons of American Horror Story. Notable names including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, and Gabourey Sidibe are all set to return. Former Scream Queens co-stars Billie Lourd and Emma Roberts will also reprise their roles alongside Ariana Grande.

What makes this season particularly interesting is that the show's unique approach means each character will likely be playing a new role altogether, even if they've been part of past seasons. The announcement has generated an unmistakable vibe of an Avengers-style crossover in American Horror Story - and fans couldn't be more excited!

Murphy dropped the surprise casting news on Instagram, with a series reel featuring the names of his season 13 ensemble members that left fans gobsmacked.

Ugh, another crazy season coming up! 🤯 I mean, I love Ryan Murphy as much as the next fan, but can't he just give us a normal season for once? 😂 It's like he's trying to outdo himself with all these big-name crossovers. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that we'll see some old favorites return, but does he have to bring in Ariana Grande? I mean, what's next? A Marvel crossover?! 🚫♀️ This season is already shaping up to be a wild ride... and not just because of the horror elements. I'm both excited and terrified at the same time! 😱 Can't wait to see how it all comes together, but also a little worried that we might end up with a messy narrative 🤪.
