Other familiar faces include Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Jessica Lange and Leslie Grossman.
Season 13 will bring together fan-favorite characters from multiple seasons to create "an unrivaled 13th installment that will do justice to everyone's most feared number," according to an official logline.
The season premieres Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. ET on FX and Hulu and will stream globally on Disney+.
'Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story'
Lourd will appear in Season 4 of another horror anthology from Murphy: the Netflix series Monster.
Officially titled Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, the new season will explore the case of Lizzie Borden, a woman tried and acquitted of the 1892 ax murders of her father and stepmother.
The cast includes Ella Beatty as Lizzie, Lourd as Lizzie's sister Emma, Vicky Krieps as the Bordens' live-in maid, Bridget, Rebecca Hall as Lizzie's stepmother, Abby, and Charlie Hunnam as Lizzie's father, Andrew.
Production on Season 4 began in October 2025, with a release date yet to be announced.
Previous seasons of Monster focused on serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (Evan Peters), brothers and convicted killers Erik (Cooper Koch) and Lyle Menendez (Nicholas Alexander Chavez), and serial killer Ed Gein (Charlie Hunnam).
'The Deputy'
Lourd has been announced to appear in the upcoming action crime thriller film written by Narcos co-creator Carlo Bernard and directed by Matt Sukkar.
Based on the Victor Gischler novel, the movie follows small-town deputy Toby Sawyer (Duke Nicholson), who is tasked by the chief (William H. Macy) to guard a dead body until the coroner arrives. An hour later, the corpse mysteriously vanishes.
"Though an unlikely hero, Toby's frantic search to find the body exposes decades of wrongdoing, a truck full of immigrants, a freezer stuffed with cash, vengeful siblings, and several cops who have turned a blind eye, including Deputy Billy Banks (Stephen Dorff)," an official synopsis reads.
Other cast members include Tiffany Haddish and Julia Fox.
The Deputy has yet to receive a release date.
'Artificial'
Lourd will star in the upcoming comedy-drama film from Call Me by Your Name and Challengers director Luca Guadagnino.
Also featuring Andrew Garfield, Yura Borisov, Monica Babaro, Jason Schwartzman, Cooper Koch, Cooper Hoffman and Ike Barinholtz, the movie is set in the world of AI, with sources previously telling Deadline the plot takes place at OpenAI in 2023.
Variety reported in June that the film is being shopped to other studios after being dropped by Amazon MGM Studios following Amazon's partnership with OpenAI, announced in February.
