American Horror Story has clasped audiences with horror and mystery since its first season. Its anthology format means that every season brings new stories and settings, but it also means that many of the lovable characters arrive and depart. Season 13 is coming, and everybody is guessing which of the iconic characters will return. Here are the top 5 characters we want to see back in AHS Season 13.
1. Cordelia Goode (Sarah Paulson)
Cordelia Goode, the Supreme witch from Coven, is one of the fan favorites. Portrayed by Sarah Paulson, Cordelia’s strength and leadership portrayed her as a very significant figure in Coven and Apocalypse. With show creator Ryan Murphy hinting about the return of the witches in Season 13, there is hope that Cordelia will once again feature on the screen. She can relate so much to magic and can give a thrilling lead to the direction of the coven to the future. Fans have waited for so long to see her back as a missing supernatural being.
2. Kyle Spencer (Evan Peters)
Evan Peters portrayed Kyle Spencer in Coven, a heartbreaking memory that will live on. Witches revived him but couldn’t even figure out who he was after death. His character arc involved trauma, love, and redemption. The idea of the return of witches and supernatural beings is a good point for Kyle’s storyline to continue. He might be dealing with the consequences of his resurrection or finding something new in life, so his return would bring more emotional depth to the season.

3. Violet Harmon (Taissa Farmiga)
One of the most interesting characters from the early seasons of the show is Violet Harmon from Murder House. With love and loss being her arcs, Violet’s story revolves around entangling herself within the haunted history of the Murder House. Even since her tragic end, it was always there: this unfinished business with her character. With Season 13 rumors surrounding some sort of connection between the different seasons, the return of Violet will thrill the viewers. A scary story can be woven when Violet connects with the new cast or maybe an old-school visit to the Murder House.
4. Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange)
Elsa Mars, as portrayed by the legendary Jessica Lange, was the unforgettable ringmaster of Freak Show. The character became so interesting by being part of Eileen from Elsa’s tragic past and her ambitions: a complex person. She becomes one of the most popular characters of all since she left emotionally in Freak Show, and everybody waits for her to return. Season 13 could get very interesting with Jessica Lange: a mentor to the newbies, or even as an illusion of a ghost from a world she once ruled over. Drama and tension would be in store, no doubt, and this is what AHS fans thrive on.
5. Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange)
The other character that Jessica Lange portrayed was Constance Langdon from Murder House. As the vengeful, manipulative mother, Constance’s presence in the Murder House was chilling and darkly entertaining. She came back to Coven where her complicated relationship with the witches added layers to her persona. Of course, Constance has always been the most important role in the universe of AHS. Her comeback in Season 13 will connect all loose ends between several episodes of previous seasons. Whether she comes as a ghost or in another form, her sharp wit and emotional complexity would make her a welcome character for the next season.
Why These Characters?
Each of them has left a mark that will not be erased from the AHS universe. Either through their power, complexity or simply storylines that would never be forgotten, each has claimed their rightful spot in the fans’ hearts. Season 13 may bring them back in ways that can further elevate the narrative. It will be a treat to long-time fans, and they will bring new dynamics to push the show into interesting places.
Conclusion
American Horror Story is founded on great characters and fascinating storylines. Some fans eagerly wait for the return of those characters they love the most when Season 13 comes out. It matters little whether it’s either of the powerful witches who included Cordelia and Kyle or Violet’s tragic history. Just the possibility of reconnecting with those characters and hearing their dark stories can make any AHS fan eagerly wait for the next season.
