'American Horror Story' season 6 casting news: Cheyenne Jackson hopes to be part of cast; Angela Bassett's return confirmed

FX

More stars are expressing their wish to get coveted roles in "American Horror Story" season 6, including season 5 star Cheyenne Jackson.

In an interview with Out magazine, the 40-year-old actor, who portrayed the role of Will Drake in "American Horror Story Hotel," said that he would love to return to the hit horror anthology.

The actor revealed that he enjoyed working on the set of "American Horror Story" last season. "It was just great. Everybody's a pro. It's a great troupe of actors who really take their jobs seriously. And it's about telling these dramatic stories and it's cool. It's really cool I have to say," Jackson said.

However, he has yet to get word from the people behind the show about casting.

But if Jackson is still waiting for news regarding his place in the sixth season of "American Horror Story," Ryan Murphy already invited Lady Gaga to return for season 6 even before the fifth season began in October.

The singer-actress received a Golden Globe Award for her stint in the TV series this year as "The Countess." But while she expressed her interest to return to the series in some capacity, no deal has been made to put her in the cast of "American Horror Story" season 6.

Murphy, the co-creator of the critically acclaimed horror anthology, confirmed in January that actress Angela Bassett will once again return to the series after playing Ramona Royale in "American Horror Story Hotel." So far, she is the only one who has been confirmed to be in the cast for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, FX CEO John Landgraf revealed that the plot for the next installment of the series will have two timelines. "It's set in two time periods — in the present with echoes of the past — but principally in the present," Landgraf revealed to the panel during January's Television Critics Association press tour, as reported by Deadline.
