“American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy revealed today that Angela Bassett is the latest to enter FX’s “American Horror Story: Hotel,” the fifth season in the anthology series. Peters has starred in all four seasons.
“In October, Angela Bassett will be making lots of trouble with Lady Gaga in the ballroom and elsewhere. #ahshotel,” tweets Murphy.
Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, 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.”
“American Horror Story: Hotel” is set to return this October.
