For portrayals featured in the spin-off, see Category:Cast of American Horror Stories.


In each season of American Horror Story, there is a whole new cast who portray new characters, but often times there are actors who are used more than one season. This category uses the form Cast Member.

AHS Repertory Company[]

Though each season brings us a new story with (mostly) new characters, they are usually played by an ensemble of returning actors.

  • A dark grey cell indicates the actor was not in the season or is not confirmed to return to a future season.
  • To keep the table in order, portrayals that exceed three characters per actor in a season are referenced. In particular, the difference between actual reenactments taking place in the episode (Roanoke) versus narrative portrayed on screen during a character's storytelling (Cult).
