I have big hopes for the season, I've always wanted to see a season set on a hotel so this is perfect. Here are some of the character descriptions:

I only watch for Angela Bassett and now Naomi Campbell.

Also at the Hotel-themed TCA panel, the cast shared new details about their respective characters. Highlights below:

Finn Wittrock: A male model named Tristan Duffy “who’s always looking for the next high. He finds the biggest high in Lady Gaga. We have a lot to do together. She sees all of me.”

Cheyenne Jackson: Will Drake. “A fashion icon. He’s trying to creatively reestablish himself, so he moves from New York to Los Angeles. [He’s a] father and a little desperate.”

Denis O’Hare: Liz Taylor. “I’m not actually playing Elizabeth Taylor, but I’m playing a person who is inspired by the awesomeness of things like Butterfield 8 andCleopatra. I shaved my head for the part… and other body parts. I work in the Hotel with Kathy [Bates], and I work in the bar, which is fantastic — the Blue Parrot Lounge.”

Chloe Sevigny: Alex Lowell. “The wife of Wes Bentley. A mother and a doctor and I’m dealing with a great loss that we had in our family.”

Matt Bomer: Donovan. “A denizen of the Hotel. I’m closely associated with Ms. Gaga and Ms. Bates and Mr. Wittrock, amongst others. He has very interesting relationships with the lady folk in his life. I’ll leave it at that.”

Wes Bantley: Detective John Lowell. “We had a great loss in the family. I’m investigating some grisly murders, which somehow leads me to checking into the hotel.”

Angela Bassett: Ramona Royale. “I have a very strong, real, lasting relationship with [Lady Gaga] character, so I’m sure I’ll be at odds with [Finn Wittrock] down there. My character is this fabulous actress of the day. I don’t live at the hotel, but I visit very often.”

Kathy Bates: “I run the hotel, I have relationships with Matt Bomer and with Wes, and I can’t stand [Sarah’s character]. I hate [Sarah]. Liz Taylor and I have a very close relationship, and I do crossword puzzles in my spare time.”

Sarah Paulson: “I live at the Hotel. I have a kind of budding something with Wes’ character, that’s sort of dark.”

Lady Gaga: Elizabeth. “She owns the hotel,” revealed Murphy. “She is a very wealthy social doyenne, who is consumed with art and fashion and people. She has a nefarious plan that is revealed in the first episode, but plays out over the course of the season.”

WHY is the cast so big??? thats what made the last season suck so much... can we not go back to Season 1 and have a main crentral cast of 5 or 6 characters? Then everyone else can be guest stars or just have episode arcs? Too many characters in a 13 episode show... it's ridiculous. When will Murphy ever learn? Also Finn Wittrock?? really?? he is a terrible actor. I was so pumped for a season in a hotel, but so far i'm not impressed with the line up. 

Side note: Have any of you watched Popular? Murphy's first tv show? It is and will always be my favourite teen show ever made... funniest cast ever haha

Welcome to MTV people...

 

MTV GREENLIGHTS “LADYLIKE,” FROM THE CREATORS OF “GIRL CODE;”

ORDERS THREE NEW SCRIPTED COMEDY PILOTS INCLUDING “UNTITLED KAPLAN/ELFONT PILOT,” “LITTLE DARLINGS” AND VEHICLE FOR COMEDIENNE NICOLE BYER

Santa Monica, CA (September 8, 2015) – MTV today announced moves to beef up its lineup of female-driven comedies, greenlighting new series “Ladylike” from the creators of the network’s “Girl Code,” and ordering pilots for three scripted comedies, including “Untitled Kaplan/Elfont Pilot,” “Little Darlings,” and a yet-untitled vehicle for comedienne Nicole Byer of “Girl Code.”

“We are excited to be in business with some of the smartest and funniest voices out there and can't wait to see these projects come to life,” said Mina Lefevre, Executive Vice President and Head of Scripted for MTV.  “These unique and provocative comedies are the perfect way for us to expand our existing slate.”

“’Girl Code’ is all about smart and funny women who aren’t afraid to talk about anything, and ‘Ladylike’ takes that sensibility to the streets to raise **** and challenge a few gender norms along the way,” said Lauren Dolgen, Head of Reality Programming and Executive Vice President of Series Development.

Descriptions for “Ladylike” and the three pilot orders are as follows:

“Ladylike”– “Girl Code” alums Nicole Byer, Jade Catta-Preta, and Matteo Lane and comedian Blair Socci take to the streets in this hilarious half-hour hidden camera prank show as they redefine what it means to be “Ladylike”. With attitude and irreverence our cast will challenge social norms and unleash uncompromising and ridiculous situations on the unsuspecting public. “Ladylike” is Executive Produced by Ryan Ling (Bird Brain Productions).

“Untitled Nicole Byer Project” – Nicole Byer portrays a young adult who is forced to move in with her sister and four kids in the suburbs after causing a fire in her New York City apartment.  Aunt Nicole will offer her own brand of advice to her sister’s kids while trying to get her life back on track.  Executive Producers include Christian Lander, Avi Gilbert with 3 Arts Entertainment and Nicole Byer will be a consulting producer.

“Untitled Kaplan/Elfont Pilot” - From writing team and executive producers Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Leap Year, Can’t Hardly Wait). Paige and Jordan may be weed dealers, but in their eyes they are entrepreneurs. Their dope delivery app is quickly gaining popularity with foodies, celebrities and – the most particular and crucial consumer –  hipsters. This pilot takes a hilarious look at two girls living in LA: desperate to succeed, find a little romance, and keep their clients happy and high – all with the least amount of effort possible.  From Management 360 (Game of Thrones).

“Little Darlings”  – Created by 27-year old Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, “Little Darlings” is a dark half-hour comedy about two very unlikely friends taking justice into their own hands and kicking literal *** on their college campus. Jules comes off as the perfect sorority dream girl, but little do her red-cup-toting sisters know, she’s got a completely different agenda come nightfall. Ophelia, your everyday stoner-hacker-****ion, has officially run out of effs to give, and when she discovers Jules may be the masked vigilante exacting justice on campus her interest in college life is re-energized.  Stacey Sher will serve as executive producer and Robinson will co-executive-produce and wrote the pilot.

how did it take you all of season 1??? that was like... the best season of tv drama in a long *** time. Season 2 started to go downhill when they decided to step away from the "target of the week" thing to focusing on the company that was behind everything. Watched a couple episodes of S3 and hated it... from what I heard it just went to complete shit after that anyways.

Anyone see the new faking it episode? I missed it )=
