Summary
WhileEvan Peters is starring on the upcoming Ryan Murphy seriesThe Beauty, he is best known for his work onAmerican Horror Story.In October 2024, Murphy toldThe Hollywood Reporter, “I was talking to Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters about"American Horror Storyseason 13. It would be great to see Peters come back, especially since hiseerie and dangerous charactershave made such a big impression on fans.
Besides starring in most seasons ofAHS, Peters has appeared in some of the most popular shows of the past few years, includingthe compellingAgatha All Along, the creativeWandaVision, and the bleak but grippingMare of Easttown.However, if Peters returns forAmerican Horror Storyseason 13, there is one kind of character that he should portray.
Evan Peters Should Play A Good And Likable Character In American Horror Story Season 13
Since Evan Peters has played severalterrifyingAmerican Horror Storyvillains,Peters should play a good character inAmerican Horror Storyseason 13. This would ensure that his appearance doesn’t feel dull or stale, and it would also make the next season stand out.
While Peters hasn’t only played villains, he is best known forplayingghost Tate Langdon onMurder Houseand cult leader Kai Anderson onApocalypse. His other evil personalities include engineer Jeff Pfister. HisRoanokecharacter Rory Monahan is probably the closest he has come to portraying a nice person on the Ryan Murphy anthology series. However, Rory is full of himself, and he isn’t the most well-developed of Peters’s characters. Although it’s fun to see Peters as a manipulative and dark character who will stop at nothing to achieve what they want, he has the talent tobring complexity and nuance to a regular person, too.
Althoughfans don’t know what theAmerican Horror Story13 plot will be, maybe Peters could play a smart, kind character who is investigating the main mystery. He could also play a friend or love interest of the protagonist, or if it’s a paranormal story, play a friendly spirit. It would also be fun tosee Sarah Paulson come backalongside Peters since they have appeared together in several seasons of the show. Maybe this time,Paulson could play a villainand Peters could play the good guy. He could even portray a character who appears to be evil and then is later revealed to be hiding his real self. Maybe he’s playing a long, manipulative game and there’s a reason why he wanted the other characters to think that he’s a terrible person. This would make for an exciting twist.
