Paul Anthony Kelly is joining the sizable group of actors who have appeared in multiple series from Ryan Murphy.

After starring as John F. Kennedy Jr. in Love Story earlier this year, Kelly is joining the cast of American Horror Story‘s 13th season. He made an appearance alongside AHS veterans Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe, Billie Lourd and Emma Roberts Tuesday afternoon at Disney’s upfront presentation in New York.

Kelly will be one of two American Horror Story newcomers in season 13 — Ariana Grande is the other. The series is set to premiere in the fall and will also feature past AHS stars Paulson, Peters, Bassett, Kathy Bates, Roberts, Lourd, Sidibe, Leslie Grossman and Jessica Lange.

FX also provided a few other details about the coming season — including that many of the returning cast will reprise roles from previous seasons. “Created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story has redefined the genre with various installments featuring a creepy murder house, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself,” the season 13 description reads. “Which iconic horrors will return to haunt the hallowed halls of 13 and what new terrors await? Light your candles, draw your pentagrams and prepare for a supreme surprise” (emphasis FX’s).

American Horror Story is produced by 20th Television. Murphy and Falchuk executive produce with Ned Martel, Charlie Carver, Eric Kovtun, Nissa Diederich, Scott Robertson, Tanase Popa, Crystle Roberson Dorsey, Jennifer Salt and Tim Minear.
