? Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) February 25, 2015Series star Jessica Lange's involvement is still unknown as this point. She told us in November she was willing to revisit the idea of a fifth season after wrapping the fourth, American Horror Story: Freak Show.
"You know, I told him that we would sit down and have a long conversation when this was over," Lange told us. "In a way this character is so great, I don't know how you top Elsa Mars. I really—in deference to Ryan, who I love dearly and who I respect beyond—I have no idea at this point."
After the finale aired in January, sources told E! News the fifth season of American Horror Story was still in early planning stages and whether or not Lange will come on board for another go was unknown. Murphy took to Twitter after the finale aired on Wednesday, Jan. 21 with a simple message.
"Thank you Jessica...for everything," he wrote. "Always."
Details about Gaga's role in the fifth season of American Horror Story are still being kept under wraps at this time. But a scary hotel? Oh no.
