American Horror Story, the horror anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, has been going strong since 2011, and the show’s 13th season might be its biggest yet. Over the past 15 years, Murphy has assembled a loyal group of actors who collaborate with him regularly, and most of them will be showing up in some way or another for this new season, which will be called 13. Murphy has said that this will be a crossover-style season featuring characters from several past iterations of the show. Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates are just a few of the faces you can expect to see when the show premieres.
The show will be dropping multiple episodes most weeks – there will be 13 in all, just to stick with the lucky number theme – until the season finale on Oct. 29. Here’s what you need to know to tune in for the season premiere of American Horror Story 13 and every other episode this season.

Angela Bassett will also return as Marie Laveau, and Emma Roberts will play Madison Montgomery, also from Coven. Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates and Gabourey Sidibe are all returning, and so is John Carroll Lynch, who reprises his role as the terrifying Twisty the Clown.
