Roberts will seemingly lead the season with Kenworthy playing her character’s boyfriend.

Pics surfaced this week of Roberts with brunette hair, leading punters to assume that production had begun on the ninth season of FX’s horror anthology series.

Paulson’s fellow series mainstay Evan Peters previously said he will not be in season 9 either.

While speaking to an Extra reporter at WonderCon, Peters responded “No” when asked if he was “involved” in the new season.

“No, I’m going to sit a season out,” he said.
