Grande was originally set to appear in the 13th season of “American Horror Story”, which will premiere on FX on September 24, 2026. However, she had to drop out because of scheduling conflicts.

“American Horror Story” Season 13

Grande has officially stepped down from her role in “American Horror Story” Season 13 ahead of its fall premiere on FX. Despite significant anticipation surrounding the Boca Raton native’s entry into Ryan Murphy’s long-running horror anthology, scheduling conflicts between her ongoing Eternal Sunshine Tour and revised production timelines for the television series made her participation impossible.

Reports confirm that Grande had not filmed any scenes prior to her departure. First announced as part of the ensemble in late 2025, she was slated to make her “American Horror Story” debut in a role that would have reunited her with Murphy, with whom she previously collaborated on the 2015 comedy-horror series “Scream Queens”.

“American Horror Story” Season 13 boasts a star-studded roster of returning franchise stalwarts, including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, Frances Conroy, and Jessica Lange. Outdoor filming sequences in New York City had already generated fan interest, though observers noted Grande’s absence from recent set sightings before her exit was formally reported.

Grande’s withdrawal highlights her dense itinerary as she balances a multi-faceted career across live music, TV, and major motion pictures. In addition to her international concert commitments, she has achieved major milestones in her acting career, notably earning critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Galinda in the feature film adaptation of “Wicked”, in which she formally adopted her birth name Ariana Grande-Butera in the screen credits.

While fans will not see Grande enter the supernatural world of “American Horror Story” this season, FX’s flagship anthology continues forward with its stacked cast and returning storylines. Meanwhile, she remains dedicated to her global tour and upcoming film endeavors, maintaining her dual momentum as both a top-charting recording artist and an acclaimed actress.
