Emma Roberts is flying away from Ryan Murphy’s nest anytime soon. The daughter of legendary thespian Eric Roberts is currently filming the Murphy-produced Scream Queens, which we just learned will premiere in late September, and once that’s wrapped she’ll move into American Horror Story: Hotel. This will be her third stint on AHS.
Murphy himself confirmed Roberts’ return, saying, “She comes at the end. She comes and she has a great thing with Evan Peters at the end.”
Roberts and Peters dated for three years after meeting on American Horror Story: Coven, but they reportedly split up earlier this month. That’s gossipy stuff, sure, but it should add some extra drama to their scenes in Hotel.
Roberts joins American Horror Story vets Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, Denis O’Hare, Finn Wittrock and Chloe Sevigny, as well as newbies Lady Gaga, Cheyenne Jackson and Max Greenfield.
