Ariana Grande will not be participating in American Horror Story’s upcoming thirteenth season, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter.
Previously announced in a Halloween post by Ryan Murphy Productions, Grande was set to join returning stars like Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, along with other veterans, as they film Coven-based episodes in New York City this week. The ensemble also includes Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange.
Currently touring with her Eternal Sunshine world tour, which concludes August 23 in London, Grande was the only new addition to the season. She previously collaborated with Murphy on Fox’s Scream Queens in 2015 and has since centered her career on acting, featuring in Wicked and Wicked: For Good. She will next appear in Focker In-Law, the fourth installment in the Meet the Parents franchise, as well as Jon M. Chu’s animated adaptation of Oh, the Places You’ll Go!.
The season’s official description states: “An unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone’s most feared number. Bringing together an all-star cast, many of whom are reprising fan favorite roles, American Horror Story: 13 continues to build on the anthology’s decades-long legacy that has been streamed more than 700 million hours across the globe and spawned a legion of dedicated fans. American Horror Story has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself. Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise.”
American Horror Story returns Thursday, September 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FX and will stream the following day on Hulu in the U.S. It will also be available to stream internationally on Disney+.
