Evan Peters Opens Up About Working With Ariana Grande on American Horror Story Season 13

Ariana Grande’s acting comeback is officially picking up steam.

As American Horror Story gears up for its 13th season, Evan Peters is already singing Grande’s praises ahead of their upcoming collaboration on Ryan Murphy’s long-running FX anthology, which is set to return in 2026.

Speaking with E! News, Peters couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about sharing the screen with the pop superstar-turned-actress. “What doesn’t she bring to the cast?” he said. “She’s an incredible performer and actress, and I think that’s gonna be awesome to have her on board.”

Grande’s casting marks another high-profile step in her return to acting following her scene-stealing turn in Wicked, and landing a role in the ever-evolving American Horror Story universe feels like a natural next move. The series has long been known for attracting bold casting choices and big personalities, making Grande a particularly intriguing addition to Season 13’s already stacked lineup.

Peters, a longtime AHS staple, is no stranger to sharing scenes with larger-than-life performers, and his excitement suggests Grande won’t just be a novelty casting choice. If anything, it sounds like she’s ready to fully embrace the chaos, intensity, and tonal swings the Murphy-verse is famous for.

Details about Season 13’s storyline are still under wraps, but with Grande joining the fold and Peters returning, expectations are already climbing. Whether she’s leaning into horror, camp, or something entirely unexpected, all signs point to Ariana Grande making one of her most talked-about TV appearances yet.
