FX is gearing up for the fifth season of “American Horror Story, and co-creater Ryan Murphy has added veteran Sarah Paulson to the cast of “American Horror Story: Hotel”, returning this fall.
Paulson, like the others, is a returning series regular after appearing as ‘Billie Dean Howard’ in the first season, ‘Lana Winters’ in “Asylum”, ‘Cordelia Foxxe’ in “Coven”, and the conjoined twins ‘Bette’ and ‘Dot Tattler’ in “Freak Show”.
Lady Gaga, Chloë Sevigny, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson have previously been cast.
We’ve been trying 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 previous 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.”
