News from actress Kathy Bates has confirmed her return for 'American Horror Story: Hotel,' as well as her role as the hotel manager.

On Wednesday, the actress tweeted: "Kathy Bates is running the Hotel. #AHSSeason5."

Bates has been a centerpiece on the last two seasons of the anthology series. As the original cast of the FX series seems to apparently be splitting, Bates is one of the few actors expected to return.

"Starring Lady Gaga, Matt Bomer, Chloë Sevigny, Wes Bentley and Cheyenne Jackson, American Horror Story: Hotel will be the first season of the series from Murphy and Brad Falchuk without leading lady Jessica Lange. Bates' return, which had been rumored for months, will mark her third season with the series after her co-starring roles in Coven and Freak Show. (Bates won an Emmy for her role in Coven,)" writes THR.

'American Horror Story: Hotel' will make it's return later this year in October.
