Tonight was the closing night of PaleyFest, and American Horror Story took the stage delighting and shocking fans when some unexpected guests showed up.
If you'll remember at the end of February Lady Gaga took to twitter to not only announce that she would be in the next season but that it would be called Hotel in an overly dramatic fashion that is all so Gaga.
Now that we're all dying to check in, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk had another surprise up their sleeves. During the panel they revealed Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson will also be in American Horror Story: Hotel.
Bomer recently appeared in the last season of American Horror Story, as a prostitute that fell prey to the maniacal Dandy(Finn Wittrock) and was slaughtered on the creepiest school bus around. He's also worked with Ryan Murphy in the past on both Glee, and The Normal Heart. As of right now he's remaining mum about what his character will be or if he will be romantically involved with Gaga, though he will be billed as a lead.
This will be Jackson's first time in the American Horror Story playground, but he's not unfamiliar with Ryan Murphy, having also been on Glee. What role Jackson will be playing is also unknown.
What is known is that Jessica Lange is not returning. After saying that Freakshow would be her last season, she did a slight backpedal that gave a few hope. But she has not definitively confirmed that she will not return for the upcoming season.
The 13-episode fifth season of American Horror Story will debut in October
