Star Jessica Lange, who has headlined each of the first four seasons, also definitively confirmed that she will not return for season five. "It was my absolute favorite," she said after crediting her cast and the show's creators. "We had a great run."

Committing to each season 'is a huge investment,' Lange said on the arrivals line of the PaleyFest in Los Angeles tribute to the fourth AHS entry subtitled Freak Show. Continued Lange: "I've done four great characters. It's enough."

Lange has been portraying four characters, is shown in season one of Murder House (top left), in season two of Asylum (top right), in season three of Coven (bottom left) and most recent in season four of Freak Show (bottom right).
The Hotel cast will include Lady Gaga who announced her participation in late February. It will be the pop star's first recurring role and her first on television not playing herself.

For AHS, Bomer and Jackson become the second and third confirmed cast members for Hotel, joining Lady Gaga, though Coven and Freak Show alum Kathy Bates is also expected to return to the anthology. For his part, co-star and fan favorite Evan Peters noted he wasn't sure if he'd be returning to the franchise but seemed open to coming back for another run.
