American Horror Story' Is Back With 13: Here's How All the Seasons Connect (So Far)

American Horror Story returns for its 13th season, titled 13, with the first three episodes airing Thursday night. The season begins with Ben (Joey Pollari), whose triskaidekaphobia—a fear of the number 13—doesn’t stop him from joining his Taylor Swift superfan girlfriend, Kira (Madelaine Petsch), on her birthday trip with 13 friends. The flight crashes, killing Kira and 12 others, while Ben survives. Another survivor is seated in 13B, while Ben is in 13F, making the number’s influence feel more than superstition. The story then flashes to Miss Robichaux’s Academy, where Cordelia and Madison train Ophelia in telepathy, hinting at a timeline tied to the crash and pointing toward Mr. Nas.
