Back in February, Lady Gaga posted a creepy teaser for American Horror Story: Hotel.

The 7-second clip told us that Gaga would appear in the new season, but told us nothing about the plot or her character.

Since then, slightly more substantial AHS: Hotel teasers have been released, but the secrecy surrounding Gaga’s character remained.

Now, creator Ryan Murphy is opening up for the first time what we can expect once the Mother Monster checks in.

“Her character’s name is Elizabeth," said Murphy in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"She owns the hotel, and she is sort of a very wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art and fashion and people and she has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode and plays out over the course of the season. She starts shooting on Monday.”

A wealthy, art-obsessed fashionista with a healthy dose of creepiness? Sounds like Gaga won’t have to stretch too far for this role.

She also won’t be the only big-name celeb on the set, as the show’s IMDB page reveals that the first episode will feature Angela Bassett, Naomi Campbell, Matt Bomer and, of course, Kathy Bates.

It remains to be seen if Jessica Lange will return for more Horror, but Murphy has confirmed “people that you have known from other seasons” will be making appearances.
