Oh I know him! He was on Ugly Betty and he's a main actor on New Girl (I don't watch that though).

[Smithy]

No, Frances is unlikely to be back as a regular, a Hulu original series that's she's a lead in got commissioned

[Firewire]

I like him in New Girl, it's only a guest role in Hotel though

[Firewire]

Channel 5 have picked up the rights and will air Murder House at some point this month on 5*.

Didn't really like Freak Show either, so underwhelming:/

[Smithy]

Hilariously freak show is actually FX's highest rated programme of all time when all means of viewing are added up

[Jamesy]

Freakshow was better than Coven in one way although it felt a bit damp throughout.

Sadly given the spike in popularity since Coven I doubt we will ever get series as great as Murder House and Asylum.

So Ryan has finally teased some details about Hotel

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."

It’s based in the hotel in horror movies and horror troves. We’ve researched several real-live hotels in downtown LA where absolutely horrifying things happened. Murder House I thought was a very primal season because everybody’s great fear is about the bogeyman under the bed in their house, and this feels similar to me in that when you check into a hotel, there are certain things beyond your control. Other people have the keys to your room; they can come in there. You’re not exactly safe, it’s a very unsettling idea.

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."

I also think that the thing that’s different about the season is that before we’ve always been very driven by the Jessica Lange character. She was always the lead character. This year, it’s a true ensemble and I think we have more male parts and more male stories. The Wes Bentley part is really big, the Matt Bomer part is really big; Evan Peters and Finn Wittrock are really big. That’s not to say that the women aren’t either; I mean Kathy Bates and Gaga and Paulson’s part and Angela Bassett’s part are great. But I guess it’s a different tone this year than we’ve had.

He said the same last year, so I'm not holding out a massive amount of hope for it being scarier, but hopefully they've learnt from their mistakes

Great to hear they've finally shook up the casting roles and made Evan and Sarah villains though

[Smithy]

Oh ontop of that Dennis o'hare is returning too

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

they say that every year lmao

[Smithy]

It's exciting that is an ensemble this year tho, the closest thing to that was S1 (which is my fave season tbh )

[Lostie!]

[Smithy]

Michael Goi (a writer on the show) confirmed that it's set in the present day

Also I've updated the OP with the cast just in case anyone missed any announcement

[Saph]

[Smithy]

She is

[Saph]

oh

[Smithy]

She's not a regular but she's doing a couple of guest spots

[Smithy]

Emma Roberts is back for a couple of eps too!

Creator Ryan Murphy spilled the news to Zap2it in a group interview. "She's still going to do a couple episodes of 'Horror Story' at the end, I think," he says. He adds, "She comes at the end. She comes and she has a great thing with Evan Peters at the end."

Roberts will jump to "AHS" after she finishes shooting the first season of Murphy's "Scream Queens," which wraps in early October.

[Firewire]

Her and Evan broke up irl tho

[reece(:]

Back to give Evan one last ****?
