"American Horror Story: Hotel" has welcomed two new cast members, Matt Bomber and Cheyenne Jackson amidst Jessica Lange's recent exit.
Last week, the three celebrities attended the PaleyFest 2015 to confirm reports of their inclusion and exit from the hit FX series, says E! News.
Lange was first to confirm that she will no longer return to the fifth season of "American Horror Story" but revealed how much fun she had working on the show.
"Yes, I'm done. We've had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I've had the opportunity to play. In all the madness, I've loved the writers, my actors, Ryan and the whole, I mean, insanity of it, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, the stories, everything," she told the crowd, as quoted by E! News.
Following Lange's exit, "American Horror Story" creators and producers have decided to invite "White Collar" actor Matt Bomer and "30 Rock" star Cheyenne Jackson.
On Sunday, Bomer and Jackson went up on stage at the PaleyFest 2015 to confirm the news.
Bomer, for one, is not new to the series because he previously appeared on "American Horror Story: Freak Show" and has worked with series creator Ryan Murphy, Entertainment Weekly reported.
The actor, who also appeared on "Glee," revealed that he loved working with Murphy.
When asked what his role could be on "American Horror Story: Hotel," Bomer remained tight-lipped. However, it was previously confirmed that he will be partnering with Lady Gaga in the series.
Meanwhile, it is also not the first time that Jackson will be working with Murphy as he previously appeared on "Glee," where he played the role of Dustin Goolsby, Vocal Adrenaline's coach.
"I did Glee in season 2, so I knew Ryan a bit," he said during a panel interview at PaleyFest 2015.
The actor also revealed his excitement for the upcoming new venture but admitted that as of late, he is still unsure what role he would play, the Hollywood Reporter noted.
"About six months ago, Ryan talked to me and I said it's my absolute favorite show on television. I'm really, really excited. I'm absolutely nervous, but I'm really excited," he explained.
"American Horror Story: Hotel" will also feature the return of "Coven" and "Freak Show" alum Kathy Bates. Her co-star, Evan Peters is still unsure whether or not he will be returning to the franchise.
The fifth episode of "American Horror Story" is set to premiere this coming October. The entire season, which will be filmed in Los Angeles, will reportedly run for 13 episodes.
