Just the other day franchise star Jessica Lange exited the “American Horror Story” universe, leaving the reigns to the infamous Lady Gaga.
Now, with the fifth season in full swing at FX, co-creater Ryan Murphy has added Wes Bentley to the cast of “American Horror Story: Hotel”, returning this fall.
Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson have previously been cast. Bentley, who appeared in “Freakshow” as Edward Mordrake (pictured), will be a series regular this time around.
We’ve been truth to figure out what “American Horror Story: Hotel” will be about. We came up with three theories, tagged here. Which do you think it is, if any?
In terms of Lange’s exit: “Yes, I’m done,” she told the PaleyFest audience. “We’ve had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I’ve had the opportunity to play. In all the madness, I’ve loved the writers, my actors, Ryan and the whole, I mean, insanity of it, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, the stories, everything.”
We will miss her.
