Emma Roberts Joins AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN

Following Fox's pass on her pilot DELIRIUM, Emma Roberts will settle into American Horror Story on FX, according to TVLine.

For the witch-themed third season, Roberts will play Madison, a "self-involved party girl."

Though details on COVEN are being kept quiet, Murphy confirmed in March that the season would be set in multiple locales, including New Orleans.

COVEN will bring back Jessica Lange, Frances Conroy, Sarah Paulson, Taissa Farmiga, and Lily Rabe, as BWW TV previously reported. Broadway vet Patti LuPone will also appear, alongside other newcomers Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, and Gabourey Sidibe.

As of now, a premiere date for AHS: COVEN has not been set by FX - but BWW TV will keep you updated as the latest outing of Murphy's frightfest shapes up.
