American Horror Story Season 13 Premiere Details

The FX anthology kicks off with three back‑to‑back episodes on Sept 24, featuring Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, and streams live via Hulu, DirecTV and other live‑TV services.

FX rolls out the first three installments of American Horror Story Season 13 this Thursday, Sept 24, at 9 p.m. ET. The triple‑episode launch packs a punch, reuniting series stalwarts Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters. Fans can catch the live broadcast on FX or stream it through any service that carries the network.

How to Watch

DirecTV, Fubo, Sling and Hulu + Live TV all offer a five‑day free trial that includes FX, so newcomers can jump in without paying up front. DirecTV bundles the Hulu/Disney+ combo, meaning the same trial unlocks both streaming giants. After the trial, plans start at $19.99 a month for DirecTV’s basic package, $54.99 for Fubo’s first month, $11.99 for the Hulu/Disney+ bundle’s introductory period, and $19.99 for Sling’s Select tier. Hulu + Live TV runs a three‑day trial and starts at $89.99.

If you already subscribe to Hulu, the new episodes drop there simultaneously with the FX broadcast. The service no longer offers its own free trial, but the DirecTV bundle still gives you a window to test the water. Past seasons of the anthology sit on demand on Hulu/Disney+, so binge‑watchers can dig into the back catalogue while waiting for the weekly installments.

The release rhythm is a little off‑beat. After the Thursday triple‑header, fresh episodes will appear every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, stretching the season out to an Oct 29 finale. The schedule means you’ll need to keep an eye on both Thursday nights for the opening splash and Tuesdays thereafter for the regular cadence.

Returning faces abound. Besides the heavy‑hitting trio, the season pulls in a roster that reads like a who’s‑who of AHS history: Evan Peters, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Billie Lourd, Kathy Bates, Frances Conroy, Cara Delevingne, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman. The premise stitches together storylines from Murder House, Coven, Asylum, Hotel and Cult, pitting familiar ghosts against a fresh supernatural menace.

Critics note that the anthology’s strength lies in its ability to welcome newcomers while rewarding long‑time fans with inside jokes and character crossovers. The three‑episode launch gives a hefty dose of exposition, so even viewers who haven’t kept up with every season can find a foothold.

For anyone eyeing a binge, the free‑trial window is the sweet spot. Sign up, watch the Thursday triple, then settle in for the Tuesday drops. The season will keep rolling for six weeks, ending just before Halloween – perfect timing for a horror marathon.

Keep your calendar marked for Sept 24, then set a reminder for the Tuesday slots. The next wave of terror lands on Oct 29, wrapping up what promises to be a densely packed, star‑laden run.
