Everything bạn Need To Know About “American Horror Story: Hotel” 

20 Times You Actually Felt Sorry For Jerry On…

Since it was announced in February that Lady Gaga would be starring in the fifth season of

American Horror Story, subtitled Hotel, we’ve learned bits and pieces about what to expect — mostly castings.

But at Sunday’s joint American Horror Story and Scream Queens Comic-Con panel in San Diego, creator Ryan Murphy and actors Matt Bomer, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett were more revealing than ever.

So here’s what we know about AHS: Hotel so far…

While Ryan Murphy is clearly a fan of Lady Gaga, it was actually the singer’s idea to join the fifth season — and it was also her idea to play an evil character. “You came to the right place,” Murphy told Gaga after accepting her offer.

2. And she won’t be singing either…nor will anyone else.

Glee and injecting musical numbers into AHS: Freak Show, Murphy stressed that Hotel would be 100% performance-free.

3. Sarah Paulson will play “the baddest girl of them all,” Hypodermic Sally.

“I’ve never played a bad guy. I’m very [excited],” Emmy nominee Paulson said of her fifth

AHS character. “I think what I’m going to do is try to bring Jessica Lange to the show without her being here by just borrowing all her moves.”

4. And unlike every other season, Murphy made it sound like Paulson’s character won’t actually live to see the finale this year…

5. Matt Bomer will be unlike you’ve ever seen him before!

Freak Show — “quite the initiation,” he said — Bomer will play Donovan, the male lead of Hotel. It’s an opportunity that he has a myriad of emotions about given he’s been a fan of the show since Season 1.

“I’m really excited and scared,” he said. “These are all bucket list actors I’ve wanted to work with for so long. Gotta bring your game, baby. Gotta come correct.”

6. In addition to Gaga, Cheyenne Jackson and Max Greenfield are joining Hotel as two more newcomers to AHS.

Jackson — who previously worked with Murphy on Glee — said in March that AHS is his “absolute favorite show. It’s the best acting on television. It’s the most exciting television.” We don’t know who he’ll be playing yet, but we do know that New Girl’s Greenfield will be checking in — “but not checking out” — of Hotel as well.

Iris runs the hotel where all the action takes place.

Ramona will be “making a lot of trouble with Gaga in the ballroom.”

10. Finn Wittrock will be in a love triangle with Bomer and Gaga.

11. Lily Rabe will play a serial killer.

As first reported by EW, Rabe is in talks to play “a famous murderer who has stayed at the titular hotel.”

In addition to Chloë Sevigny and Wes Bentley, who were previously announced as series regulars, Murphy teased, “Characters from previous seasons will come back and check into the hotel.”

Freak Show, which brought back Pepper (Naomi Grossman) and Sister Mary Eunice (Rabe), all the seasons are connected in some way. “We have a long-term plan with this show,” Murphy said, adding that everything will make sense by the end of the series.

13. According to this Instagram Lady Gaga posted, the season premiere will be titled “Checking In.”

American Horror Story: Hotel — which Paulson called “a doozy of a season” — will premiere this October on FX.
