‘American Horror Story’ will revive classic characters from Evan Peters, Jessica Lange and more in Avengers-style team-up season, says Ryan Murphy

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has shared that the forthcoming season will be an Avengers-style crossover with characters from previous seasons returning. The anthology series tells a different story with a different set of characters each season, although it is understood they exist in the same universe with some connections between each story. The show also has a regular ensemble, with Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters appearing in numerous different roles. Many fans have been speculating what is in store for the show’s season 13, a number associated with horror, and during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Murphy revealed what direction the season would take. Replying to set photos that showed characters from AHS: Coven, he said. “Everybody thinks it’s a Coven season and it’s not. It’s all the seasons. Sarah Paulson is playing six or seven roles. Jessica Lange is playing all four of her iconic characters. Evan Peters is playing five characters… It is like the Avengers. They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.” Ryan Murphy tells us 'American Horror Story: 13' is "not a Coven story" ― it's so much more. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/AVnhGrFga1 — Entert...
