‘American Horror Story: 13’ Episodes 7 & 8 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch

Cordelia’s Coven is about to encounter a knock at the door that no witch desires. The official synopsis for the upcoming chapter hints at a home invasion like no other, confirming the coven’s worst fears. For fans eagerly awaiting the next episode, this installment of ‘American Horror Story’ appears to be a pivotal moment for the entire season.

The anthology has been layering nostalgia atop dread since its latest premiere, with the witches of Miss Robichaux’s Academy at the center of it all. Here’s everything you need to know before the next episodes of ‘American Horror Story’ arrive, including the exact release date and how to stream them.

The seventh episode, titled ‘The Baddest Witch of Them All,’ is set to premiere on Oct. 8. This episode is part of the show’s next wave of releases, following a premiere night and the second week that each featured three episodes, with pairs arriving every Thursday.

You won’t have to wait long for more, as the eighth episode, ‘Hell No,’ is also scheduled to drop on that same date. Expect a thrilling double feature of witchy chaos if the schedule holds.

The season finale is slated for Oct. 29, meaning the season is quickly approaching its conclusion. With such a brief run, every new chapter carries significant weight.

The season kicked off on a Thursday at 9 pm ET and 6 pm PT, with the premiere airing on Sept. 24 on FX. Viewers should anticipate the same Thursday evening slot for the upcoming episodes, though it’s wise to check local listings for confirmation.

One interesting note is that the season has been described as having a somewhat irregular release schedule, with varying numbers of episodes debuting each week. Therefore, you cannot simply expect a new episode every seven days.

Before the witches face their impending doom, there’s still the sixth episode, ‘The Return of Devil’s Night,’ which arrives on Oct. 1. Catching up beforehand is the best way to prepare for what’s next.

The viewing options are straightforward. The season airs live on FX and streams on Hulu. If you’re a cord cutter, Hulu is your best bet to stay updated with the coven.

The anthology has been a staple on the network since its debut in October 2011 and continues to draw in viewers. This anniversary season feels particularly rich with fan service, thanks to its long history.

Each episode of this season runs for approximately half an hour, making it easy to binge multiple chapters in one sitting, especially on nights when two episodes are released together.

‘The Baddest Witch of Them All’ is penned by Ned Martel and Charlie Carver, with Alfonso Gomez-Rejon directing. Fans will be excited to see Gomez-Rejon return, as he also directed ‘The Seven Wonders,’ the finale of the Coven season. His involvement feels like a deliberate nod to the past.

The title suggests a power struggle, and the official tease about a home invasion indicates that violence is about to reach the coven’s doorstep. Earlier episodes have hinted at an unseen threat closing in on the witches of Miss Robichaux’s Academy, and it seems that tension is finally set to erupt.

The star-studded cast is hard to overlook, featuring more than a dozen actors from previous seasons, including Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Jessica Lange. Angela Bassett also returns as the iconic Marie Laveau.

Fans of the Coven have eagerly awaited this reunion. Ryan Murphy mentioned back in December 2018 that the witches from Coven would return in a future season. Early reactions suggest that the wait may be worthwhile, as one critic noted signs of a return to form for the horror anthology.

So when that door finally gets kicked in on Oct. 8, which Coven witch do you think will be hit hardest by the invasion?
