''American Horror Story: Hotel'' is the fifth season of the FX horror anthology television series ''American Horror Story''. It premiered on October 7, 2015. The series was renewed in October 2014, with the subtitle ''Hotel'' being announced in February 2015. ''Hotel'' marks the first season to not feature series mainstay Jessica Lange. Returning cast members from previous seasons of the series include: Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare, Lily Rabe, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Angela Bassett, Chloë Sevigny, Finn Wittrock, Wes Bentley, Mare Winningham, Matt Bomer, John Carroll Lynch, and Anthony Ruivivar, along with new cast members Lady Gaga, Cheyenne Jackson, and Max Greenfield. Breaking from the anthological format, like ''Freak Show'', the season is interconnected to the first season, and features an appearance by the Murder House, its original owner Dr. Charles Montgomery (Matt Ross), and its realtor Marcy (Christine Estabrook). The plot centers around the enigmatic Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, California, that catches the eye of an intrepid homicide detective (Bentley). The Cortez is host to the strange and bizarre, spearheaded by its owner, ''The Countess'' (Gaga), who is a bloodsucking fashionista. This season features two murderous threats in the form of the Ten Commandments Killer, a serial offender who justifies his actions in accordance with biblical teachings; and ''The Addiction Demon'', who roams the hotel, armed with a drill bit dildo. According to creators Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy, thematically ''Hotel'' will be much darker than previous ones, and will see the reprisal of other characters from past cycles. Inspiration came from old hotel horror films and actual hotels situated in downtown Los Angeles with a reputation for sinister events, including The Cecil. The cycle also marks a return to filming in Los Angeles, where the first two seasons were shot. ''Hotel'' features one of the most expansive sets in ''American Horror Story'' history, with production designer Mark Worthington building two stories on a soundstage, along with a working elevator and stairway. From July 2015, FX launched a marketing campaign for the series, with most trailers and teasers touting Gaga's involvement. ==Plot== The fifth season of American Horror Story focuses on the Downtown Los Angeles Hotel Cortez which has been recently purchased by New York fashion designer Will Drake (Cheyenne Jackson). The 90 year old hotel is haunted by demons and mysterious ghosts including the founder James Patrick March (Evan Peters) the junkie Hypodermic Sally (Sarah Paulson) and the strap on wielding ''The Addiction Demon''. Staff and residents of the hotel include the 115 year old "vampire" Elizabeth/The Countess (Lady Gaga) and her paramount drug addict fiancee Donovan (Matt Bomer), Donovan's mother, the manager and front desk clerk Iris (Kathy Bates), the eccentric transgender bartender Liz Taylor (Denis O'Hare) and the Countess's vengeance obsessed lover Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett). As the season unfolds, everyone's information and backstory is revealed. Elizabeth was married to James March, she also had an illegal abortion at the Murder House back in 1926. Ramona was a Hollywood actress who had a romantic and homosexual past with Elizabeth who shot her new boyfriend in betrayal.
