From the Emerald City to the Murphy-verse, Ariana Grande‘s acting comeback is gaining momentum with her next role.
American Horror Story‘s Evan Peters recently praised the actress as he prepares to join her among a star-studded cast for Season 13 of Ryan Murphy‘s FX anthology series, which is set to return in 2026.
“What doesn’t she bring to the cast?” he told E! News. “She’s an incredible performer and actress, and I think that’s gonna be awesome to have her on board.”
Peters continued, “I’m excited to see what’s gonna be in the season. I haven’t read anything yet, so I’m curious what it’s gonna be, what’s it gonna have her doing. It’s exciting.”

In addition to Peters and Grande, the cast of AHS Season 13 includes Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman and Jessica Lange.
Although Grande is the only AHS newcomer in the bunch, she’s previously worked with Murphy on his 2015 Fox comedy horror Scream Queens, which also starred Roberts and Lourd.
Following her Oscar nomination and two Golden Globe nods for playing Galinda Upland in Jon M. Chu’s two-part movie musical adaptation of Wicked, Grande is embarking on her Eternal Sunshine tour, her last planned musical outing for a while.
Meanwhile, Grande can next be seen in a London stage revival of Sunday in the Park with George, as well as the upcoming Meet the Parents fourth installment, scheduled to premiere on Nov. 25.
