Thanks to an exclusive from Entertainment Weekly, "American Horror Story" fans can now get a glimpse of what they can expect from "American Horror Story: Hotel."
Check out the actors and their characters below, and you'll definitely be counting the days until the premiere of "American Horror Story: Hotel."
Lady Gaga as The Countess
Lady Gaga portrays the role of The Countess, who owns the swanky Hotel Cortez. Glamorous but dangerous, The Countess always makes sure to satisfy her "healthy diet of sex and blood."
In fact, The Countess kills her victims with the help of her fashion-forward yet sharp chainmail glove. Lady Gaga explains her character, "She's extremely strong. [...] She's been through so much. It's kind of impossible for anything to penetrate her."
Matt Bomer as Donovan
Donovan, played by Matt Bomer, is The Countess' lover of 20 years. However, the sexy beau finds himself in a difficult situation after meeting the handsome Tristan, a male model.
"He's very interested in domesticity and sort of nesting and hunkering down and having her to himself every now and then, and that doesn't go over so well with her limitless hunger," says Matt Bomber about his character.
Cheyenne Jackson as Will Drake
Cheyenne Jackson comes to "American Horror Story: Hotel" as a young designer from New York, named Will Drake. In an attempt to seek inspiration, Will Drake checks into the Hotel Cortez with his son, Lachlan.
Ryan Murphy explains: "He comes to the hotel and he is going to turn part of it into his atelier and of course he gets sucked up into the Countess."
Wes Bentley as John Lowe
John Lowe is an LAPD detective who checks into Hotel Cortez as he tries to track down the Ten Commandments Killer. Interestingly enough, the latter "arranges victims according to the biblical dates."
But it's not just Wes Bentley's character who gets sucked into the Hotel Cortez void of darkness. His wife, Alex - played by Chloe Sevigny - will is no exception.
Angela Bassett as Ramona Royale
Angela Bassett is taking on the role of a film star named Ramona Royale, who used to have a romantic history with The Countess. Ramona Royale will also be teaming up with Donovan for a revenge plot against Lady Gaga's character.
"They are powerful women at opposite sides and at odds with one another, each believing that they're right," Angela Bassett says of The Countess and Ramona Royale.
Naomi Campbell as Claudia
For "American Horror Story: Hotel," Naomi Campbell portrays Claudia, a Vogue editor who ends up regretting her stay at Hotel Cortez.
"She's kind of outlandish," Naomi Campbell says of Claudia. "She thinks she's indestructible and nothing's going to hurt her."
Kathy Bates as Iris
Donovan's mother, Iris - played by Kathy Bates - intends to see her son on an everyday basis, which leads her to work at Hotel Cortez. Not only that, but Iris also disapproves of The Countess.
Kathy Bates describes her character, "Iris is overprotective with a capital O, especially now since her son is ill. She wants to be there every day to make sure he's all right, and she's very controlling that way."
Finn Wittrock as Tristan
Tristan is the male model that grabs the attention (and the heart) of Donovan at a fashion show that was held at Hotel Cortez.
"He's got an addictive personality. [...] I think he's hypersexual also. It makes him a prime candidate for the Countess' charms and he is very willingly seduced and then turned by her," Finn Wittrock says of his character.
Evan Peters as James March
"American Horror Story: Hotel" will be featuring some flashbacks, similar to the typical fashion of the series, of Mr. March's murderous history.
But what's James March's role on this "AHS" season? Evan Peters explains: "He's the builder and owner of the hotel from the 1930s, and he is unique. [...] He's designed a hotel to cater to his specific needs, which tend toward the dark evil."
Max Greenfield as Gabriel
Max Greenfield of "New Girl" fame joins the drama series as Gabriel, an addict checking into the hotel. The "Hollywood junkie," as described by Greenfield, will soon be having an unforgettable time at Hotel Cortez.
"Originally, he had a job and was more preppy or business. And Ryan [Murphy] came back and was like, 'I think we should be more rock and roll,'" shares Max Greenfield.
Sarah Paulson as Hypodermic Sally
Sarah Paulson portrays another "junkie," named Hypodermic Sally, living at Hotel Cortez. Be prepared to feel some pity for this character.
"She's selfish. [...] She will put a stiletto in your face if it means she can get what she needs. But she's also like a broken rag doll," describes Sarah Paulson.
