On October 31, 2025, Ryan Murphy Productions confirmed that singer and actress Ariana Grande will join the cast of the 13th season of American Horror Story, scheduled to premiere throughout October 2026.

Ariana’s participation in AHS marks her return to television in a dramatic role since her appearance in Scream Queens(2015), also created by Ryan Murphy. The announcement was made through an enigmatic video on Instagram, featuring the song “I’ll Be Seeing You” (Vera Lynn version), and ending with the iconic “Surprise, bitch” from Coven, instantly sparking a wave of reactions across social media.

Alongside Ariana, the confirmed cast includes well-known names from the franchise: Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman. Another highlight: Jessica Lange returns to the series after a long absence, surprising both fans and critics.

Although details about Ariana’s exact role in the season have not yet been revealed, there is speculation that she may take on a high-impact character, whether as a protagonist, antagonist, or part of a mysterious storyline full of twists. Her pop aura and strong media presence are expected to bring an intriguing tension to the show’s dark universe.

The timing of the announcement also aligns with other major projects in Ariana’s schedule. She is preparing for her first tour in years, the Eternal Sunshine Tour 2026, which will visit the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In addition, she stars in Wicked: For Good, the sequel to the musical film Wicked, set to premiere on November 20, 2025, in cinemas across Portugal.

The combination of a tour, a film, and now a suspense-filled anthology series suggests that Ariana is expanding her versatility as an artist.
