Ariana Grande will not take part in FX’s “American Horror Story” Season 13, multiple outlets report. Grande was previously cast or expected to appear as part of a Ryan Murphy reunion for the anthology series. However, sources say her availability no longer aligns with production timing changes for the season. Several reports link her departure to scheduling conflicts with her ongoing “Eternal Sunshine” tour, which runs at the same time as the updated production dates for the new season.
Deadline reports that FX’s Season 13 premiere is set for September 24, and that the combination of the show’s date adjustments and Grande’s touring schedule prevented her from making her planned AHS debut. Variety and The Hollywood Reporter similarly describe Grande’s exit as driven by timing conflicts related to her tour and the show’s production schedule. Billboard, TVLine, and The Independent also report that she drops out of the season as production continues.
The remaining cast details cited across coverage include the return of several franchise actors, while Grande’s role is no longer part of the season.
