The season marks the AHS debut for Broadway's Cheyenne Jackson who will portray Will Drake, described as "a fashion icon and father who moves from New York to Los Angeles' Hotel Cortez." Says Jackson, "He's coming in and he's definitely kind of taking control of things, moving people out of their rooms and making room for his own fashion empire."

Matt Bomer will portray Donovan, "a resident of Hotel Cortez who is kicked to the curb by his lover Elizabeth (Gaga) after she meets Tristan (Wittrock)." He also has a rather complicated relationship with his mother, Iris, portrayed by AHS vet Kathy Bates.
