'American Horror Story' Season 5 Spoilers: New Photos Of Lady Gaga's The Countess & Finn Wittrock's Tristan
American Horror Story boss Ryan Murphy has released new photos of Lady Gaga and Finn Wittrock in the upcoming fifth season, Hotel.
Lady Gaga Reportedly Willing To Do Just About Anything On 'American Horror Story'
Murphy tweeted out a photo of Wittrock playing his new character Tristan in Hotel. The photo shows Wittrock's character sporting a mullet with red tips, a drastically different look from his Freak Show character Dandy Mott.

Then, Murphy tweeted a photo of a hand wearing a metallic glove reaching out to claw an unsuspecting blonde girl. As we've seen in promo photos of the new season, the hand clearly belongs to Gaga's character The Countess. In case fans weren't sure of this, however, Murphy tweeted "Gaga will get u".
Both photos provide more anticipation for American Horror Story: Hotel. Gaga is set to play The Countess a.k.a. Elizabeth, a wealthy socialite who owns the Hotel Cortez. She keeps up her youthful looks by drinking blood. But don't call her a vampire! The social doyenne makes a decision regarding the hotel in the first episode of the season that will have ramifications throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Wittrock's character Tristan is a model who eventually gets involved in a love triangle with The Countess and Donovan (Matt Bomer). With Wittrock and Bomer's characters fighting for The Countess' affections, this will make the second straight season of the two actors' characters having conflict. In Freak Show, Dandy lured Matt Bomer's character Andy, a prostitute, into the woods and wound up killing him. Will the same result happen this year or will Bomer seek his revenge?
American Horror Story: Hotel premieres Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
