“American Horror Story” returns to FX for Season 13 with a three-episode premiere on Thursday, Sept. 24. Both outlets report that the new season features a large group of returning franchise performers, continuing the series’ tradition of reuniting familiar cast members each year.

Variety and Forbes both list overlapping headline cast, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, and Kathy Bates. Variety also highlights additional returning actors—Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, and Leslie Grossman—framing the premiere as one of the franchise’s biggest reunions. Forbes focuses more on practical viewing information, including where to watch and the show’s release schedule.

Together, the reports indicate that Season 13 begins with three episodes launching together, and that the season’s cast includes multiple major names associated with earlier installments. The outlets differ primarily in emphasis: Variety foregrounds the reunion scale and premiere timing, while Forbes provides scheduling and access details for viewers.
