Ryan Murphy disclosed details about an unrealized crossover project involving Ariana Grande and American Horror Story during an interview ahead of the season 13 premiere. Grande had been scheduled to reprise her character Chanel #2 from the horror-comedy series Scream Queens, which would have marked the first time the two franchises intersected.
Murphy explained that scheduling conflicts related to Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour made the collaboration impossible to execute this season. He stated that Grande had informed him in advance about the difficulty in coordinating her availability and that the specific shooting weekend conflicted with her touring commitments. Despite the setback, Murphy indicated he remains open to revisiting the idea at a later date.
The conversation expanded into broader territory regarding Murphy’s interest in reviving past projects. When asked about the possibility of bringing back Scream Queens entirely, Murphy noted that multiple cast members have expressed enthusiasm for such a project. He cited conversations with Emma Roberts and mentioned that Billie Lourd, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, and Glen Powell have all indicated willingness to participate in a revival, though he expressed uncertainty about when or if it would materialize.
Murphy drew a parallel to Glee, noting that 12 years have passed since that series concluded, suggesting that revivals of his past work may take considerable time to develop. Co-creator Ian Brennan previously reflected on Scream Queens’ cancellation after two seasons, attributing it partly to the timing during the transition from network television to streaming dominance.
The AHS season 13 premiere, described as featuring an all-star cast of franchise regulars including Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson, launched later this week on FX.
