The witch is back—along with many, many others—in the teaser for American Horror Story: 13

Who’s up for a reunion? For the 13th season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s 15-year-old horror anthology series, American Horror Story, they’re getting the coven back together, with a murderers’ row of returning stars. Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, and many, many more are making their way back to Scaresville for the show’s latest outing. Originally teased as a sequel to Coven, the show’s third season, Horror Story has since contracted a case of triskaidekaphobia, a fear of the number 13. As a result, Murphy’s angels and demons will reprise their roles from previous seasons for a series of episodes all revolving around the number 13. 

For Paulson, Peters, and Lange, it is an even more ambitious challenge. Having appeared in numerous seasons of the series, Paulson will reprise the roles of Cordelia Goode, Sara McKenna, Tuberculosis Karen, and Marnie Eisenhower; Peters as Tate Langdon, James Patrick March, and Kai Anderson; and Jessica Lange will play Constance Langon, Sister Jude Martin, Fiona Goode, and Elsa Mars. All of these, plus Emma Roberts, John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari, Frances Conroy, Cara Delevingne, Orlando Jones, Tig Notaro, and John Waters as Mr. Phibes, are jumping into the cauldron for season 13. We guess Kim Kardashian was busy. 

American Horror Story: 13 premieres on FX and Hulu on September 24.
