This October, Max Greenfield (like you’ve never seen him) is checking in to the hotel….but not checking out. #AHSHotel

While it’s possible that Murphy is spoiling the Motor Lodge Of Horror’s automated checkout system, it’s more likely a reference to Greenfield getting his comeuppance for all of Schmidt’s douchebaggery on New Girl. Greenfield joins a growing cast of new and returning players, including Chloe Sevigny, Lady Gaga, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Wes Bentley, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Matt Bomer, and Cheyenne Jackson.
Having already covered horrible real estate, horrible mental institutions, a horrible rivalry between Salem and voodoo witches, and a delightful freak show, Hotel is the logical next step forward in the series, paving the way for future installments such as American Horror Story: Lenscrafters, American Horror Story: Rotary Club, American Horror Story: Standardized Testing, and American Horror Story: 2016 Republican National Convention.
