Ryan Murphy shocked fans at the San Diego Comic-Con recently when he showed up at Hall H for the panel discussion on "American Horror Story: Hotel." He surpised them even more with details of Season 5 of AHS.

According to Haute Living, the FX series will be featuring Grammy-winning Lady Gaga in the upcoming season. Apparently, the actress/singer loves the show so much, she actually wrote to Murphy requesting to be part of the show.

"It was one of the weirdest things of my career ever," Murphy said, remembering Lady Gaga's surprising, but welcomed request for a role in AHS. "'Horror Story' has a lot of fans obviously and I get calls fom some people..."

Murphy answered with an enthusiastic "YES" and began working on an exclusive role for the music artist.

According to Variety, Gaga told Murphy that she wanted to portray a character who is evil, to which Murphy replied, "You came to the right place."

Despite being characterized as evil, Gaga's fashion sense will still show through in her character, adds Variety. Murphy said Gaga's character will be related to fashion and that the designers have really been working hard for her looks.

It is probably safe to assume that Lady Gaga's character will have the same outrageous fashion sense as Lady Gaga herself, as can be deduced from the recently released trailer of AHS.

Lady Gaga is seen "checking in," but only her arm is shown, wearing what seems to be a long-sleeved silver gown. Her nails are described as "talon-like" by Daily Mail UK.

Murphy says that the Pop icon will be shooting all her episodes within a certain time period in order to keep up with her busy schedule. It seems that Gaga will be shooting sometime in the near future, as she recently posted an AHS-inspired picture on Instagram holding her official script for the series.

The superstar captioned the picture with: "Just doing a bit of monster homework. Horrible lipstick accident. # AHS"

The release date for Season 5 of AHS has yet to be announced, but most sources predict that it will premiere sometime in October.

Other than Lady Gaga, AHS has a list of notable actors for season 5, including: Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Finn Wittrock, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett. More actors are expected to be added to the cast list later on, states Cater Matt.
