Sarah Paulson Joins 'American Horror Story: Hotel'

A fan favorite is coming back for "American Horror Story" season 5!

Sarah Paulson is confirmed to return for "American Horror Story: Hotel" according to an announcement from series creator Ryan Murphy.

"Sarah Paulson is checking into 'Hotel.' And this season, she's the baddest bad girl of them all," Murphy wrote on Twitter.

Paulson joined "AHS" in the first season in a small role, but has had much larger roles in every season since. Last season in the "Freak Show" storyline, she wowed audiences with her portrayal of conjoined twins, playing both heads.

Other returning heavyweights of the series include Chloe Sevigny and Kathy Bates, and while Evan Peters hasn't signed on yet he might still be in the running. New additions to the cast include Cheyenne Jackson, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley and Lady Gaga.
