American Horror Story: Hotel - 10 Exciting Things Fans Already Know

6. It Might Be Set In The Present Day

FX Network CEO John Landgraf got fans super excited when he mentioned earlier this year that an American Horror Story could be" very interesting if set in the present day" and that he knows that season 5 will be "very different from the other seasons", but failed to give any more clues as to where and when the "Hotel" season will be. "One of the things I love so much about (American Horror Story) is that it can be radically, radically reinvented in terms of tone, setting, period, characters, cast," he said. "I think there's going to be an unusually large reinvention in between Book 4 (Freak Show) and Book 5 (Hotel) relative to, say, between Book 3 (Coven) and 4 (Freak Show)."
