American Horror Story - Emma Roberts — Michele K. Short/FX

8. Emma Roberts

Let’s be honest: Roberts deserves to be this high up on the list for her portrayal of Madison Montgomery alone, a spoiled brat and former actress whose path to fame goes awry when her witchy abilities emerge. In less capable hands, Montgomery could have become a caricature, but Roberts expertly portrays the inner turmoil and self-loathing behind her iciness. And in the latest season, *Delicate*, Roberts shows her range as a pregnant woman in her own *Rosemary’s Baby*-inflected nightmare.

American Horror Story: Apocalypse is coming soon, and creator/executive producer Ryan Murphy promises fans that’ll be a season to remember.

The uber-producer announced the highly-anticipated new season on Twitter, revealing it’ll be a crossover between Season 1, Murder House, and Season 3, Coven.

The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won’t be happening next year…because it’s happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER

— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) June 14, 2018

Of course, with a new season comes a new cast… or does it? Murphy is known to reuse actors throughout multiple seasons of AHS, and he’s planning to do the exact same thing for Season 8.

Emma Roberts, Evan Peters, Jessica Lange, and other are all returning (so far!).
