Season five stars Gaga as Elizabeth, the Hotel Cortez’s evil owner and a “wealthy social doyenne who is consumed with art, fashion and people and [who] has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode that plays out over the season,” showrunner Ryan Murphy told reporters in August at TCA.
