Here Are The First 'American Horror Story: Hotel' Character Names
We finally know who will be checking into the "American Horror Story: Hotel" next season.
Actors from both "American Horror Story" and "Scream Queens" joined Ryan Murphy, co-creator of both shows, onstage at a combined Comic-Con panel on Sunday. "AHS" Season 5 cast members Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters and Matt Bomer took the stage alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Skyler Samuels, Keke Palmer, Abigail Breslin and Billie Lourd of Fox's upcoming "Scream Queens."
While Murphy didn't share any new footage from either series, he did reveal a handful of details about the new season of "AHS," according to multiple outlets. We now know that
Sarah Paulson will play
Hypodermic Sally,
Evan Peters is
Mr. March,
Kathy Bates is
Iris and
Matt Bomer is
Donovan. We also know that
all of the above characters,
plus Angela Bassett's character, will be
evil.
Although Murphy reportedly didn't say much about how
"Hotel" will tie in to the previous seasons of "AHS," which he revealed last year were all connected, he did say that
former "AHS" characters will return in the new season.

While "Hotel" newcomer
Lady Gaga was not at the panel on Sunday, Murphy revealed the story behind her casting. The pop singer apparently
contacted Murphy herself and asked if she could play an evil character. His response? "YES," in all caps, according to Mashable. Gaga won't have any singing moments on the horror series, but
fashion will be a major aspect of the "Bad Romance" singer's character.
