Emma Roberts joins American Horror Story: Coven

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Another female has joined the cast of the third season of “American Horror Story: Coven”: Emma Roberts, known to most as the niece of Julia Roberts, recognizable to horror fans as the young lead in SCREAM 4.

News of the casting was first reported by TV Line; Roberts will play a self-involved party girl named Madison.

Roberts joins a cast that includes Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, Patti LuPone and Gabourey Sidibe.

Unfortunately, we don’t know much about “Coven,” other than that it deals with witches and is based, in part, on true events. (Though it takes place in the present day.)

Shooting commences this summer in Louisiana.
