Emma Roberts Joins Boyfriend Evan Peters On ‘American Horror Story: Coven’

Emma Roberts will be joining her longtime boyfriend Evan Peters in the next season of American Horror Story, which is subtitled Coven.

Roberts, who is known for her role in Unfabulous, will play a “self-involved party girl” named Madison, reported TVLine. Other new castmembers for the series' third season include Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone and Gabourey Sidibe.

In addition to Roberts, returning castmembers of the series include Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy and Taissa Farmiga.

Filming for Coven will be kicking off in New Orleans in the near future, but little else is known about the next season of the FX horror show except that it will revolve around a “coven” of witches. Brad Falchuk, previously teased Coven as “a really cool story we’ve been talking about for a couple of years. So we’re going to do that.”

Although it’s uncertain how Peters feels about his girlfriend joining him on set, it would be fair to assume that Roberts is looking forward to it based on comments she made earlier this month after attending the Tribeca Film Festival with Peters. "It was nice, because the work stuff gets boring sometimes," she told E! News. “So to have your friends and family and your boyfriend there, it makes it a lot easier and a lot more fun."

American Horror Story: Coven will premiere on FX in October.
