The 13th season serves as a franchise landmark that incorporates plot elements and characters from nearly all previous 12 seasons, TV Line reported. According to Variety and TV Line, the current cast features returning performers including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Jessica Lange. Variety noted that additional returning cast members include Frances Conroy, Jamie Brewer, John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari, Mat Fraser, and Seth Gabel. [2][3]

Created for FX, the show is structured as an anthology where most seasons function as self-contained miniseries featuring distinct character ensembles, settings, and storylines. The franchise originally launched its first season in 2011 and has since anchored cable and streaming programming for FX and Hulu. [2][11][13]
