Ryan Murphy Fuels AHS Coven Continuation Rumours For Season 13 With Jessica Lange Pics
Ryan Murphy has teased that the upcoming season of American Horror Story will be a continuation of Coven after sharing first-look images of fan fave Jessica Lange on set.
Murphy, who created the horror anthology series, hinted at what fans can expect from the new instalment while debuting pics of Lange — who played Supreme witch Fiona Goode in AHS’ third season, Coven — on social media.
“The return of Jessica Lange,” Murphy captioned the images, in which the actress sports a long blue blazer and an updo while looking out of a window.
Up until this point, plot details about AHS’ new season, its 13th overall, were kept under wraps, but Murphy maybe-kinda confirmed that the new episodes will extend on Coven in the comments of his Instagram Post.
In response to a fan urging Murphy to make the new season a “Coven extension”, Murphy wrote, “Done”, with the double-whammy news of Lange’s return adding even more weight to the speculation AHS will retread its witchy roots.
Coven, which dropped back in 2013, is a cult favourite among AHS fans, and followed a group of New Orleans witches as they fought their extinction three hundred years after the Salem Witch Trials.
It featured an all-star cast including major Murphy muses like Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates. All of those names are returning for AHS season 13, with the addition of Ariana Grande, so it seems likely that Coven will be revisited in some capacity when the new instalment drops.
Speaking of which (witch?), AHS’ 13th season will premiere on Halloween (duh!) October 31, and will be the successor to the Kim Kardashian-starring Delicate that landed in 2024.
In the time between, Murphy has tapped Kardashian again for the widely panned legal drama All’s Fair, and again caught strays over Love Story, the just-finished show which dramatised JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bassette’s romance.
We’ll be sure to update you if anymore AHS season 13 tea drops, but in the meantime, dust off those cauldrons and practice those spells, because Coven might just be in our future.
