It ain't New York City without Broadway legend Patti LuPone.

The three-time Tony Award winner, 73, will make her triumphant return to American Horror Story with the upcoming 11th season, which the show announced this week is appropriately New York City-themed.

Although her casting was announced last month alongside fellow returning stars Zachary Quinto, Billie Lourd, Sandra Bernhard and Isaac Powell, FX revealed the new season's title this week, as well as an Oct. 19 premiere date. (The new season's plot has not yet been released.)

Leslie Grossman and Denis O'Hare will also return for season 11, which features franchise newcomers Joe Mantello, Charlie Carver and Russell Tovey, according to Entertainment Weekly.

LuPone previously appeared in the show's third season, AHS: Coven, which premiered in 2013. She played Joan Ramsey, a strict fundamentalist Christian woman with a dark secret who moves in next door to witchcraft academy Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies.

The Gypsy star has also appeared in episodes of AHS creator Ryan Murphy's other shows Hollywood, Pose and Glee.

She discussed working with Murphy, 56, on her Hollywood character Avis Amberg, a widow and movie studio chair who frequents Golden Tip Gasoline, a front for a group of male sex workers.

"I was so thrilled when Ryan said there'll be sex scenes and I went, 'Finally.' Women get cast as mothers or grandmothers at my age," she told ELLE in 2020. "Oh no, we've still got sexual desire. We're still desirable. Why not? So I'm so thrilled.

"There was a sex scene, I'm sorry to say, that was cut out that I had with Dylan [McDermott]. It was very exciting!" LuPone added.
