Peters, who has had a starring role in all four seasons of American Horror Story, spoke with GoldDerby in a new video interview this week. The actor talked about Freak Show and how Lange will be missed on set going forward.

Asked what it's like to not have Lange on the show anymore, Peters admitted that things will be weird but he still has confidence in the team.

"It's strange, definitely. She was a huge part of the show," Peters said, of Lange. "We're taking off on this journey without our captain. Hopefully we'll be able to get there. I think we will, I have confidence in us. But she's definitely gonna be missed. She just brings so much to table and she brings such a reality to everything."

Lange left after four seasons with the show, with Freak Show being her final season.

Now moving forward in season 5, which is titled Hotel, Peters admitted that he doesn't know much about what's ahead but he knows that the concept is terrifying in and of itself.

"I don't know much but I know that hotels are terrifying and I'm actually very scared to start working on this one. I'm very scared," he admitted. "'The Shining' scared the crap out of me. I don't know if it'll be anything like 'The Shining' but anything in a hotel is terrifying. Just the energies, the different energies in the rooms and I have a feeling that the set are going to be gorgeous this year."

American Horror Story show runner Ryan Murphy tweeted that Peters would be playing someone "in Room 64" and fans are trying to figure out what exactly this means. But since this is American Horror Story, we can only assume that Room 64 is not a place you want to be.

American Horror Story: Hotel is set to premiere in October on FX.
