American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has teased details about the show's upcoming season to Deadline.
When asked if there will be any musical numbers, Ryan said: "No. People, keep saying to me, 'What numbers are they singing, what numbers are they singing,' and I say there will be no numbers. The interesting thing is we cast a lot of singers this season but I like that singers, for the most part, are always great actors because they know how to sell a story through song, through a scene. I think that's why Gaga was excited about it; it's not something that she's ever done before. It's a pure acting part. I think people expect that she's going to be sitting in a bar in a white silk gown sort of singing songs — she is not."
"The upcoming season that we're doing is much more horror-based; it's much more dark," he continued "It's about a theme and an idea that's very close to my heart that I've always wanted to do that's a little bloodier and grislier I think than anything that we've done before; it's straight horror this year."
Speaking of the set, Murphy added: "We're building this incredible six-story Art Deco hotel on the Fox lot. Everybody in the show is very excited about this season, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters particularly because in every season thus far they've always been sort of the heroes, the good guy or the good lady so to speak, and this season they're playing absolute evil villains so they're very excited about that and I think people will really enjoy it, and the Gaga part is bananas good."
