Lady Gaga made headlines over the weekend for her Oscars tribute to The Sound of Music, and now she’s back in the news again with confirmation that she’ll join the cast of the celebrated anthology series American Horror Story.

The musician used Twitter to announce her participation in the next installment of the series — titled American Horror Story: Hotel — posting a promotional photo with the caption “Make your reservation now.”

Beyond the title of the new season, little is known about the premise, Lady Gaga’s character, or who will be returning from the series’ recurring cast. Previous seasons of the series have followed the inhabitants of a haunted house, the residents and staff of an asylum, a coven of witches, and most recently, a traveling circus sideshow.

The role is expected to be Lady Gaga’s first major acting gig, after having cameos in Sin City: A Dame To Kill For and Machete Kills.

American Horror Story: Hotel is expected to premiere on FX in October.

Two women battle in Lady Snowblood.

Max has one of the deepest libraries of any streaming service out there, but that doesn't mean it's easy to find what you want to watch. In fact, because there's so much interesting stuff, it can actually make picking any one thing more difficult.
