American Horror Story
On October 7, 2014, it was announced that FX had ordered a 10-episode spin-off titled "American Crime Story", developed by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. While each season of "American Horror Story" focuses on a new horror theme, each season of "American Crime Story" focuses on a new true crime story. The series features "American Horror Story" cast members Sarah Paulson, Connie Britton, Cuba Gooding Jr., Darren Criss, Finn Wittrock, Max Greenfield and Cody Fern. The first season premiered in February 2016, with the second season premiering in January 2018. A third season is in development.
American Horror Story: Hotel
In February 2015, Gaga tweeted a link to the first promotional video for the upcoming season with the caption "Make your reservation now. #GagaAHSHotel" announcing her presence in the season and the official title. In July 2015, a promotional trading card was unveiled by "Entertainment Weekly", available at Comic-Con, where after entering the hotel set built there, one could receive the trading card with a promotional key. The first official teaser for the season was released later that month, showing Gaga's long-nailed hand ringing the bell at the front desk. In August 2015, FX revealed the premiere date of the season along with a new teaser poster, showing an Art Deco peephole on a wooden door, beyond which an obscure image revealed a blond woman putting a body to bed. Later that month, "Entertainment Weekly" exclusively unveiled two teaser trailers of the season, entitled "Beauty Rest" and "Do Not Disturb", set to singer Heidi Feek's cover of Elvis Presley's 1956 single, "Heartbreak Hotel".
