It is unknown how significant Mattsson's role will be on the show.
Mattsson joins previously announced stars Lady Gaga, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Evan Peters, Denis O'Hare, Finn Wittrock, Matt Bomer, Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson, Chloë Sevigny, Max Greenfield, Emma Roberts and Richard T. Jones, all of whom are checking into Hotel.
Filming was scheduled to begin this month.
Very little has been revealed about Hotel, other than some character names and few relationships between the characters. Announced character names are as follows:
Paulson - Hypodermic Sally
Bates - Iris
Bassett - Ramona
Peters - Mr. March
Bomer - Donovan
American Horror Story boss Ryan Murphy said that all of these characters will be villains in their own ways.
He also revealed on Twitter that Gaga, Bomer and Wittrock's characters will be involved in a love triangle of sorts. Additionally, Bassett's Ramona will spend time with Gaga's character in the ballroom of the hotel.
Murphy also said that Peters' Mr. March will have something to do with "Room 64," which cannot be good.
American Horror Story: Hotel premieres in October on FX, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
