One theme that has always been inherent to the FX horror anthology series "American Horror Story" is that characters never returned, but the people who portray those characters did. That's about to change, according to E! News.

The series is most known for actors like Evan Peters, Lily Rabe, Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates to come on each season and play a different role in the series.

One season, Peters was a ghost apparition of himself who committed a school shooting. The next season he was a normal person who was abducted by aliens and framed as a serial killer.

For Lange, she originally played the strange and ominous lady next door. The next season she was a nun in a mental asylum.

But now, creator Ryan Murphy took to the stage at Comic-Con 2015 in San Diego and announced a new strategy that has turned the tables on the horror anthology series. This will for the first time mark an interconnection between previous seasons and the new one.

"Characters from previous seasons will come back and check into the hotel," Murphy said at SDCC 2015. He also noted that everything will make sense by the end of the season.

He did announce that the cast will feature a few actors that some may remember -- namely Finn Wittrock, Denis O'Hare, Cheyenne Jackson, Wes Bentley and Chloe Sevigny.

Sevigny played a role on Season 2 in the "Asylum" installment where she ultimately saw her own disfigurement. It is possible that she will be one of the returning characters, in some capacity.

Variety also reported character roles have been designated, in the sense there is a clear set of good and bad characters.

Lady Gaga will be joining the "Hotel" season, and she specifically requested to be brought on as a bad character.

"She [Lady Gaga] said, 'I want to be evil,'" Murphy recalled at SDCC of his meeting with the singer. "I said, 'You came to the right place.'"
