It was just earlier today that we passed along the news that MISERY-star Kathy Bates was NOT going to be joining in on the fun this upcoming season of Ryan Murphy's AMERICAN HORROR STORY.
And while that news was a bit sad, we now have awesome news as it turns out none other than COVEN and SCREAM QUEENS starlet Emma Roberts will be joining AHS: CULT!
As you may know, I am a BIG fan of Emma Roberts and so this news is by far the most exciting thing I've heard come out of the AHS camp in quite a while. In fact, this means I will saddle up to the TV for the new season – or at least Roberts' episode(s) – this fall.
The news was dropped by Murphy on Instagram and you can check out that post – showcasing Roberts with a butcher knife – below. After that make sure to hit us up on social media and let us know how excited YOU are for Roberts' return to AHS on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram!
AHS: CULT is now in production and stars Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Billie Lourd, Billy Eichner, Cheyenne Jackson, Alison Pill, Colton Haynes, Adina Porter, Frances Conroy, Mare Winningham, Leslie Grossman Lena Dunham, and Emma Roberts.
The new season will begin airing on FX this Fall.
