Fresh off her Golden Globe win for playing the Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel, singer and actress Lady Gaga has confirmed that she will return to the spooky anthology for its sixth season.

Lady Gaga appeared on Z100's Elvis Duran Show Friday morning, telling the radio personality that she’s in but she “can't promise you how or when or anything like that.” It’s not much, but knowing Lady Gaga will star in Season 6 should keep fans happy for the time being.

Currently, most details about the upcoming season remain under wraps., and the theme of the season is not yet public information. Executive Producer, Ryan Murphy will only say that the season is much “darker” and “more rogue” than Hotel.

However, Actress Angela Bassett has recently revealed some details about her American Horror Story character, telling Entertainment Tonight that she may struggle with addiction.

"I think I'm an alcoholic," Bassett told ET . "That's all I know but I don't know where, why, what made me so."

In January, Murphy told E!News that he accidentally shared some character details with Basset, so maybe the actress knows a little more than she’s letting on. But Murphy and the AHS cast are very good at keeping mum about unreleased seasons.

There were also rumors in January that Season 6 would center on the Internet meme Slender Man ; however, those rumors were quickly refuted.

American Horror Story typically premieres in October, but there have also been murmurs of two seasons airing in 2016. This has not yet been confirmed, but Murphy told Entertainment Weekly last August that he and his team would have to decide whether there would be a fall season and a spring season of the horror anthology.
