Model and social media personality Alex Consani has reportedly joined the cast of American Horror Story Season 13, where she will play a new witch in the upcoming chapter of the FX anthology series.

The new season is expected to continue the Coven storyline, bringing back several major franchise stars alongside fresh additions. Consani joins a returning ensemble that includes Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts and Billie Lourd, marking one of the most high-profile casts in the series’ history.

Sarah Paulson is set to reprise her role as Cordelia Goode, while the season will also feature Ariana Grande in her American Horror Story debut. Grande previously worked with creator Ryan Murphy on Scream Queens, and her casting has added further attention to the upcoming season.

According to reports, the witches’ academy Miss Robichaux has been rebuilt for the new storyline, signalling a direct continuation of the Coven universe. Ryan Murphy confirmed the return of the witch-focused narrative on social media, teasing the project with the phrase “The Supreme Rises,” hinting at Cordelia’s central role in the new conflict.

While details about Alex Consani’s character remain undisclosed, she is expected to play a new witch entering the established coven dynamic. Her casting adds a fresh face to a franchise known for blending established actors with emerging talent.

American Horror Story Season 13 is scheduled to premiere on FX in September 2026, with episodes expected to stream on Hulu shortly after broadcast. The new season continues the long-running horror anthology’s tradition of reinventing itself while revisiting fan-favourite storylines.
