With American Horror Story approaching lucky Season 13, Ryan Murphy is bringing one of his OG muses back to the FX anthology series.
The Golden Globe winner recently teased that frequent collaborator Sarah Paulson will make her return in some capacity to the horror show, after a fan asked if the 13th installment is still expected in 2025.
“Sarah Paulson and I are cooking up something cool!” wrote Murphy in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring first-look images from American Love Story.
In October, Paulson teased a “big chance that I will return” to AHS, raving on Good Morning America, “I’ve got everything crossed. I would like to do it more than anything. It’s my home. It’s where I started. … If I could be reunited with Evan Peters and Ryan Murphy, you can pretty much tell me what time I will be there, and I will be there.”
After first playing celebrity medium Billie Dean Howard in the 2011 debut season, dubbed Murder House, Paulson has returned almost every season to play another role, including Lana Winters in AHS: Asylum, Cordelia Goode in AHS: Coven and Apocalypse, and conjoined twins Bette and Dot Tattler in AHS: Freak Show, just to name a few.

Paulson’s last appearance in the AHS universe came with Season 10’s Double Feature, playing Tuberculosis Karen in the first half, before portraying Mamie Eisenhower for the remainder.
Although the Golden Globe-winning actress has been absent from the show for the past couple of seasons, she recently reunited with Murphy to star in his upcoming Hulu legal drama All’s Fair, alongside Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Glenn Close.
