Mondays aren’t so bad when Ryan Murphy tweets great news about season 5 of his epic anthology series American Horror Story. One of the series’ regulars, and fan favorite, Sarah Paulson will return, as well as one of the newer additions to the AHS family, Kathy Bates for AHS: Hotel.
A few days ago, series co-creator Murphy tweeted, “Kathy Bates is running the Hotel. #AHSSeason5,” confirming her return and what role she would be playing. No further details were released on exactly what leadership role she’ll have as “running” the hotel.
Today, Ryan Murphy shared on Twitter that Sarah Paulson would also be checking into the hotel. He tweeted, “Sarah Paulson is checking into “Hotel.” And this season, she’s the baddest bad girl of them all. #AHSSeason5.” Soon after Paulson retweeted the news adding, “I so fuckeeeen HAPPY to be able to finally tell you: IM BAAAAAACCK!! #AHSHotel.” [SEE ALL TWEETS BELOW]
Sarah Paulson has been on every AHS season since its start in 2011, and is the only actress on the show who never had a character die. Kathy Bates joined AHS for season 3, AHS: Coven in 2013. Past seasons themes were Murder House, Asylum, and most recently Freak Show.
For season 5 of AHS, Lady Gaga, Chloe Sevigny, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley, and Cheyenne Jackson have been announced as cast members.
I would love to see Taissa Farmiga, Zachary Quinto, and Angela Bassett return. Farmiga appeared in season 1 and 3, maybe she only shows up for odd number seasons. Quinto appeared in season 1 and 2, with Bassett joining in 3 and 4. I enjoyed all the characters these three played and I would love to see how they fit into the Hotel season. Since I’m in love with Elizabeth Gillies, and she said she would die to appear on the show, I think she’d be a good fit as a new addition. Also Ke Ke Palmer, she’s working Ryan Murphy’s new FOX show Scream Queens, but I think if they pair her with Angela Bassett some how, that would just be TV magic. Oh and Finn Wittrock, he played Dandy in season 4 and I hated how much I loved him! He needs to come back.
Who else would you like to see return or make a debut for AHS season 5? Let me know in the comments below.
