Jessica Lange may be leaving American Horror Story behind but we have a strong feeling that the series’ next leading lady will definitely leave no room for disappointment during the next highly-anticipated season.
This fall, the hotels will be alive with the sound of Gaga, as Lady Gaga officially announced yesterday that she will be joining the cast of American Horror Story for its fifth season. which premieres in October. Still revelling in the tremendous amount of praise she received after blowing us all away with her amazing Oscars performance, Gaga took to Twitter today to announce her involvement in the series as well as the upcoming season’s new subtitle, Hotel.

Despite previously having smaller roles in Machete Kills and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, this is the singer’s first recurring role in a television series. Though the process of revealing new information about upcoming seasons is usually a bit secretive, Ryan Murphy, the show’s creator, confirmed the collaboration via Twitter.
We never really pegged Gaga to be a cable television actress, but we have to admit that the news isn’t so surprising. It’s like a match made in Little Monster heaven. So far, no other cast members have officially signed on to American Horror Story: Hotel as Jessica Lange’s involvement with the series is still in question.
Here’s to hoping that season five will throw us a bundle of surprises, including a Jessica Lange-Lady Gaga duet.
