It's been a while since I've felt this overjoyed in mid-August about an upcoming season of American Horror Story, but lucky #13 is keeping my interests and excitement buoyant and soaring, given all the returning actors and familiar characters who'll be teaming up to face off against the ultimate evil villain. (I have my own horned theories about who that Big Bad is.)

Now let's dive into the surprises coming to the 2026 TV schedule.
