Adding to the excitement, fans of television are in for a treat with the three-episode premiere of American Horror Story: Season 13 on Thursday, September 24th. The season brings back a familiar constellation of franchise icons, reuniting stars like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Angela Bassett, alongside returning favorites such as Kathy Bates and Billie Lourd. The return is bolstered by new supporting actors, including Joey Pollari and Mat Fraser.
