"I wouldn't be opposed to playing any kind of freak. It would be so fun and so interesting," she told Refinery29 recently. "Last year, when everybody was talking about coming back, everyone said, 'Emma's going to come back and be the bearded lady!' I was like, 'Oh my god, you guys! Shut up!' I would laugh so hard if I had to put on a beard every day. But why not?"
Roberts first appeared on American Horror Story in Season 3 for Coven, where she played diva actress Madison Montgomery.
As for other actors set to star in the new season, fans should also expect to see the return of Gabourey Sidibe, Jamie Brewer and Denis O'Hare, the latter of which will be portraying a "collector of freaks."
Michael Chiklis has also signed on to play the father of Peters' character and the ex-husband of Bates' character.
American Horror Story Season 4 premieres in fall 2014 on FX, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
