Gabourey Sidibe, an Academy Award nominee, first captivated audiences in American Horror Story: Coven as Queenie, a powerful human voodoo doll. She later returned for Freak Show, Hotel, and Apocalypse, consistently delivering memorable performances. Her wit, charm, and formidable presence have made her a fan favorite throughout her tenure on the show.
Angela Bassett, a Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner, made an indelible mark on the series with her powerful portrayal of Marie Laveau in Coven. She went on to deliver iconic performances as Desiree Dupree in Freak Show, Ramona Royale in Hotel, and Monet Tumusiime in Roanoke. Bassett's ability to command the screen with her intensity and versatility has made her one of the most celebrated actresses in the AHS universe.
The potential return of these two powerhouses has ignited speculation about the theme and setting of Season 13. Both actresses have been instrumental in some of the show's most critically acclaimed seasons, and their combined talent promises to elevate the new installment to extraordinary heights.
"Having Gabourey and Angela back would be a dream come true for AHS fans," said by most fans of the show. Their performances are always captivating, and they bring such a unique energy to every role they inhabit. It truly feels like a homecoming.

While details surrounding Season 13 remain shrouded in mystery, the prospect of Sidibe and Bassett gracing our screens once again is enough to generate immense anticipation. Fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements from the network and creative team to confirm these exciting developments.
Will She Jump Back on Her Broomstick as Witch / Human Voodoo Doll, and Fan Favorite, Queenie for the New Season of AHS
Gabourey Sidibe, an Oscar-nominated actress for her turn in Precious, cemented her place in the hearts of horror fans with her memorable role as Queenie in the American Horror Story anthology. First appearing in the wildly popular Season 3, Coven (2013), Queenie quickly became a standout character and a definitive fan favorite.

Queenie is introduced as a student at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies in New Orleans. Her unique and formidable power is that of a "Human Voodoo Doll," meaning any injury she inflicts upon herself is simultaneously transferred to her target. This defense mechanism makes her nearly impossible to defeat in a direct confrontation.
Beyond her powerful ability, fans connected with Queenie's sharp wit, fierce attitude, and moments of genuine vulnerability. Her compelling interactions, particularly with the monstrous Madame Delphine LaLaurie (Kathy Bates), provided some of the season's most critically discussed and engaging moments, tackling themes of race and history within the horror context.
A Lasting Legacy in the AHS Universe

Her popularity ensured her return across multiple AHS seasons, including Hotel and Apocalypse, making Queenie one of the most frequently reprised characters in the series. Despite some criticism of how her character was handled in later cameos, her presence is consistently met with excitement from the fandom, proving her status as a beloved member of the ever-expanding American Horror Story coven.
