The queen of the Monsters herself, Lady Gaga, will join the cast of the freshly announced next season of popular US series American Horror Story, revealed to be subtitled Hotel, it has been confirmed.

Gaga hinted at her involvement in a tweet fired off early this morning (AEST), telling her fans to "make your reservation now", and hashtagging the post #GagaAHSHotel before including a quick video of herself dressed up in typically freaky attire and indicating she would appear in the show's fifth season. 

According to Mashable, FX, the station that airs the series, has since confirmed Gaga's tweet, saying that she will not only be joining Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy's anthology horror series, but will be taking a starring role.

Pretty much every detail of the follow-up to last year's Freak Show - but the title and, now, the fact that Lady Gaga is involved - is still under wraps, but fans won't have too long to wait until all (or, at least, more) is revealed; American Horror Story: Hotel is set to start screening in the States from October this year.

Freak Show was a particularly musically inclined installation of teh series, which first acknowledged its creative roots with the makers of Glee back in season two, Asylum, ramping up the spectacle to see AHS mainstay Jessica Lange deliver several spellbinding covers in the guise of her latest character, Freak Show matriarch Elsa Mars.
