Emma Roberts
The actress was recently announced as the latest star to join the cast. On Tuesday, creator Ryan Murphy posted a photo of Roberts on Instagram holding a knife in what looked to be her character’s costume.
“Look who showed up on the set of Cult looking glamorous and ready for action,” he captioned the photo.
Roberts posted the same photo on her Instagram account announcing her latest role. “I’ve joined #ahscult will you?” she captioned the photo.
The actress is no stranger to the show, she has appeared in the third and fourth season of “American Horror Story,” landing roles in “Coven” and “Freak Show.”
Evan Peters
Also returning to the series is the “AHS” vet who has appeared in every season of the series. Peters’ role as Kai in “Cult” will mark his “heaviest season” according to the show’s creator.
When a fan told Murphy they wanted “more Evan,” he revealed that they will be quite satisfied with the upcoming season. “And more Evan you will get. This is his heaviest season yet,” he replied.
Some fans were disappointed about Peters’ brief appearance on “American Horror Story: Roanoke” in which he only appeared in a few episodes, but it looks like this time around Peters will have more screen time.
Sarah Paulson
At this point in the series’ history, it would be kind or weird if Paulson didn’t return to the anthology. The actress, who has had a role in every season, will play Ally in “Cult.” In July, Murphy shared a drawing of Paulson and Peters’ characters revealing that the two will have a romantic relationship this season. “Ally and Kai in CULT...a love story for the ages,” he captioned the picture.
