Emma Roberts Returning as Madison Montgomery In “American Horror Story”?!
Ryan Murphy dropped the bomb last week when he revealed that the forthcoming season of “American Horror Story” would be a crossover of season 1’s “Murder House” and season 3’s “Coven.” Confirmed to return are “American Horror Story” vets Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Kathy Bates. Now, Emma Roberts is teasing a return as “Coven’s” Madison Montgomery.
Roberts posted a short video on Instagram during Murphy’s latest series Pose saying, “Surprise bitch, bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.” As Deadline noted, based on the black dress and the condescending tone, it is pretty clear that she was in character as the shady, sharp-tongued starlet Madison.
Madison died not once, but twice during “Coven”, recalls the site. Jessica Lange’s Fiona slit her throat and she was resurrected by Misty Day (Lily Rabe). She died a second time when Kyle (Evan Peters) strangled her.
After Roberts posted the video, there was a Twitter exchange between her and Murphy where they joked about what her first lines would be. Murphy also responded to tweet asking if “Coven” actress Taissa Farmiga would be back for season 8 which he replied, “All the witches are being asked back.” The tweet has since been deleted.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
