Ariana Grande Exits American Horror Story Season 13

Ariana Grande will not be featured in the upcoming thirteenth season of FX's "American Horror Story," which is slated to premiere on September 24. Sources close to the production have indicated that scheduling conflicts prevented Grande's participation. The timing of the "American Horror Story" production dates shifted, directly clashing with Grande's "Eternal Sunshine Tour." This overlap made it impossible for the artist to commit to her planned debut on the horror anthology series.

Grande had been rumored to be joining the cast for the new season, following her previous role as a "glamorous" contestant in the "Death Valley" season (Season 10) of the show. Her involvement in Season 13 was anticipated by fans and industry observers alike. However, the logistical challenges presented by the revised production schedule and her extensive touring commitments ultimately led to her withdrawal from the project. The specific details of her potential role in Season 13 were not disclosed prior to this announcement.

The "Eternal Sunshine Tour" is a significant undertaking for the pop superstar, spanning multiple dates and locations throughout the period when "American Horror Story" Season 13 is scheduled to film and begin its broadcast. FX has not yet released the full cast list for the upcoming season, leaving room for speculation about other potential new additions or returning favorites. The absence of Grande marks a notable change for viewers who were expecting to see her in a more prominent acting capacity within the "American Horror Story" universe.
