This weekend creator Ryan Murphy told “American Horror Story” fans that “Veronica Mars” fav Max Greenfield, pictured below, has joined the cast of “American Horror Story: Hotel.”
Murphy, also revealing that the season is to debut this coming October, says that Greenfield will appear “like you’ve never seen him,” and while he’s checking in to the hotel…he won’t be checking out.
Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lady Gaga, Chloë Sevigny, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson have previously been cast.
As for the missing regulars, Vanity Fair explains:
Regular ‘American Horror Story’ player Emma Roberts is busy with Murphy’s other pulpy project ‘Scream Queens’ but has said she thinks she’ll be joining Season 5 “at the end.” Another regular, Denis O’Hare, says he hasn’t officially been asked back yet, but that he signed a two-year contract last season so could be called up at any moment.
‘American Horror Story’ favorite Frances Conroy will likely be too busy with Jason Reitman’s new series to join in the fun for Season 5 and there’s no word yet on Lily Rabe—though she hasn’t said no—but if she came back to the ‘American Horror Story’ fold, I’ve no doubt she’d bring her dancing moves”
