'American Horror Story' Season 5 Cast, Plot & Rumors: Darren Criss as Hotel's Next Visitor? [Rumors]

Ryan Murphy and Darren Criss have worked magnificently together in the now defunct TV series 'Glee' and apparently, Murphy has been so happy with Criss that they have decided to team up once again, this time as one of the rumored visitor of 'American Horror Story: Hotel'.

Entertainment Weekly confirms that Criss will be joining the list of actors like Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, Emma Roberts and many others who are said to be featured in the latest American Horror Story season.

Criss is rumored to be playing a hipster character named Justin who will be running into a conflict with the hotel owner when they ordered too much room service, a character that will be played by Bates, when he and his girlfriend Iris check in the hotel on Halloween night to getaway from notorious kids who loves to do Trick-or-Treat.

His character is slated to be introduced in the Halloween episode of AHS:Hotel and is said to be returning as a recurring role.

Wet Paint adds that with the recruitment of Gaga, Naomi Campbell, and New Girl's Max Greenfield, who plays funny man Schmidt, season 5 appears to be the most star-studded in the history of AHS especially in terms of new and raw talent.

If the rumors are correct, then Criss's Justin will be the first 'normal' character that seems to be not evil at all, when compared to Paulson's Hypodermic Sally, Peter Evans's Mr. March, and Bomer's Donovan.

Enstarz writes that besides the names of the characters, nothing has been said about the plot or story line of 'Hotel' although Gaga's role has sparked interest in fans especially after rumors surfaced that Bomer and Finn Wittrock will be fighting for her love and that she will be doing something evil in the series.

'American Horror Story: Hotel' will return to FX in October.
