Up until the screening, the cast wasn’t able to discuss anything about the new season.

However, the cast had an unexpected respite from all the darkness. That said, one has to wonder if a potential AHS Season 6 would land us right back in the search for a new female lead, though creator Ryan Murphy seems to have gone Gaga, through and through. It’s part of the character’s reality and who they are and their circumstances.
“Can you imagine feeling isolated all the time and working constantly and being on tour and doing stuff like that to then being, like, living and breathing and having true exchanges and emotions and real-life drama constantly all the time?” Clinton deadpans, “I’m just an ordinary citizen who believes the Keystone pipeline will destroy our environment”. She plays Iris, the hotel reception clerk – and Iris is so surly, sarcastic and unhelpful, she gives even Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers a run for his money as the nastiest innkeeper in TV history. It’s Lady Gaga. How could you not have it be incredibly sexy with her? “She worked so hard on this role and she’s one of my favorite actresses I’ve ever worked with and I’m lucky to call her a friend”. She later shared a photo sipping a drink, adding in, “Some people just like to drink blood for fun”. She brings intensity to all of her work.
We see a shirtless Matt Bomer as Donovan, Iris’ son, who’s also the Countess’ lover, and a menacing looking Finn Wittrock, who plays male model Tristan, another of the Countess’ lovers.
“I think Gaga is every man’s fantasy – no matter who you are or what your sexual preference is”, he explains. The FX horror anthology will in no way go easy on the scares for its season 5 debut, with the building introduced in the season opener titled “Checking In” as a scene of “a chain of gruesome murders”.
Matt Bomer also made a stylish appearance, wearing a classic navy suit and burgundy button down, while Kathy Bates kept her red carpet look simple in head-to-toe black.
“I haven’t said this before, and I should have”.

“She had a half-naked bartender for a few of us it was an incredible party and it was just us, so it was comfortable and we all got to know each other”, he said.
