Evan Peters is checking in to the new season of American Horror Story. Series co-creator Ryan Murphy shared the American Horror Story: Hotel casting news on Twitter.

"This season, Evan Peters will be waiting for you in Room 64. #AHSHOTEL," Murphy tweeted.

Room 64?!

Peters has appeared in every season of American Horror Story. He joins previously announced returning faces Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates—she'll play the head of the hotel. Chloë Sevigny appeared in American Horror Story: Asylum and will be a series regular in Hotel. Matt Bomer, who previously appeared in one episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show, will also serve as a series regular alongside Cheyenne Jackson and Lady Gaga. Wes Bentley, another Freak Show veteran, will also be part of the cast.

One face you won't be seeing (at least as a series regular) is Jessica Lange. The Oscar and Emmy winner said her time with AHS is up.

American Horror Story: Hotel is just one of a few shows Murphy is working on. At Fox, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas and Jamie Lee Curtis star in Scream Queens. American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson at FX has Paulson, John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Connie Britton amongst its A-list cast.

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