'American Horror Story' Season 5 Cast: Michelle Pfeiffer, Alexander Skarsgard & More Rumors Likely Not True
Despite a new report claiming to know the cast and characters in FX's American Horror Story: Hotel, very little can be officially confirmed.

Many American Horror Story fans are excited about a recent report that goes into great detail about the characters various actors will be playing in Hotel, though there is some question to the validity of the piece. Coming from International Business Times, the report claims that actors like Michelle Pfeiffer, Donald Sutherland, Alexander Skarsgard and Tammy Blanchard will be in Hotel, though none of this is official.
The list also says that Sarah Paulson is playing Janis Joplin, which doesn't make sense considering Hotel is supposed to be set in the present day -- though with so many ghosts present on the show, anything is possible. However, American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy said that Paulson will be playing the "baddest bad girl" in Hotel, which doesn't really add up with Joplin's personality.

Additionally, the list says Kathy Bates is playing the agent of Janis Joplin, which seems illogical considering Murphy has already said that her character will be running the hotel.
Most of this information seems to have come from an IMDb user named acrazey57, who has been responsible for making fake AHS cast lists before.
Until Murphy and company make official announcements, it is important for fans to take certain cast reports with a grain of salt. Very little has been confirmed yet, despite fans wanting to know more about the new season.
Here is an official breakdown of what we know so far about Hotel:
-Bates's character runs the hotel.
-Paulson's character is a "bad girl."
-Evan Peters' character has something to do with "Room 64," according to Murphy, though the meaning of this is not known yet.
-Other stars include Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Wes Bentley and Chloë Sevigny.
More cast announcements are likely to come in the next few weeks or months.
American Horror Story: Hotel premieres in October on FX.
