Wes Bentley will officially be checking into "American Horror Story: Hotel," the Hollywood Reporter reports.
Co-creator Ryan Murphy tweeted about Bentley joining the fifth installment of the FX anthology series.
Bentley, who appeared on last season "American Horror Story: Freak Show" as the freak ghost Edward Moredrake, will join the confirmed cast of Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer and Cheyenne Jackson. Gaga and Bomer have topline leads, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Murphy's announcement comes after "AHS" superstar Jessica Lange revealed that she would not be on "Hotel" after starring on the last four seasons of the show, picking up two Emmy awards for her roles.
"We've had a great run here," Lange said Sunday at PaleyFest in Los Angeles. "I mean, I absolutely love doing these four characters, and in all the madness, I love the writers and Ryan (Murphy) and the insanity of shooting it."
Sources told the Hollywood Reporter that co-stars Kathy Bates is likely to return for "Hotel." Evan Peters also hinted as his return for the upcoming season, scheduled to air in October.
