Evan Peters is clearly thrilled at the thought of Ariana Grande stepping into the chilling world of American Horror Story.

After the Halloween 2025 announcement that the pop superstar will star alongside the Emmy-winning actor in the anthology series’ 13th season, Peters couldn’t contain his excitement.

“What doesn't she bring to the cast?” he gushed in an exclusive chat with E! News.

“She's an incredible performer and actress, and I think that's gonna be awesome to have her on board.”

Grande, who previously wowed audiences in Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens, is set to join a star-studded lineup that includes AHS legends Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Emma Roberts. 

The 38-year-old actor admitted he’s in the dark about the season’s plot but couldn’t hide his curiosity about how Murphy will showcase Grande’s many talents on the small screen.

“I haven't read anything yet, so I'm curious what it's gonna be, what's it gonna have her doing. It's exciting,” he said.

Meanwhile, Peters is keeping busy with another Ryan Murphy project, The Beauty, which hits Hulu and FX on January 21. 

Describing the show as an “international sci-fi satirical body horror action thriller,” he revealed he was drawn to its long action sequences and his role as an FBI agent taking down an evil corporation.

“He's just an incredible collaborator,” Peters said of Murphy. 

“As strong as his vision is, he's willing to take ideas in and try them, and you definitely get to have some say.”
