Kathy Bates Returns For American Horror Story: Hotel

It's official. Kathy Bates will be returning to American Horror Story in the show's fifth season, titled American Horror Story : Hotel. This will mark her third season in the series -- after her roles as the immortal Madame Delphine LaLaurie in Coven and bearded woman Ethel Darling in Freak Show. I'm excited Kathy Bates will be returning.

Confirmed to co-star alongside Bates in American Horror Story: Hotel are Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson, and Chloe Sevigny.

Hopefully Hotel will be a great season, without singing. It's going to be different without Jessica Lange but since Kathy Bates will be back this season I definitely will be watching.

I'm also hoping Bates will have a long living character. FX may not have revealed what character Bates will be playing this time around but creator Ryan Murphy tweeted Bates will be "running the hotel".
