While most castings have been kept under wraps, Roberts will play a self-involved party girl named Madison. It remains to be seen how much, if any interaction she'll have with real-life boyfriend Evan Peters.

Roberts joins ‘American Horror Story: Coven’ newcomers Angela Bassett, Patti LuPone Gabourey Sidibe and Kathy Bates,’ along with returning franchise regulars Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Taissa Farmiga, Frances Conroy, Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson. So far, we know only select details of the FX drama’s third season, including that ‘Coven’ will have a love story focus akin to the one between Violet (Farmiga) and Tate (Peters) in season 1. The third outing will be set in the modern day across several cities, primarily New Orleans, occasionally dipping back into the past as the narrative requires.
