Lady Gaga will portray an evil hotel owner in the upcoming season of American Horror Story, the shows creator and director Ryan Murphy told journalists during a panel at the 2015 Summer TCA Tour on Friday.
"Her character’s name is Elizabeth," he said. "She owns the hotel, and she is sort of a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art and fashion and people and she has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode and plays out over the course of the season. She starts shooting on Monday."
"My character is closely associated with Miss Gaga. He has very interesting relationships with ladyfolk and I'll just leave it at that," said Matt Bomer, who has a "spectacular" murder scene to film with Mother Monster on Monday, while Angela Basset added: "I have a strong long lasting relationship with Stefani's character."
Murphy also revealed that Hotel is similar to the first season of the show. "This season harkens back to the first season and is much more rooted in the honest, primal fears that the first season was," he said. He also confirmed that stars from previous seasons will be making cameo appearances in Hotel.
The 13-episode season premieres on October 7th on FX.
