AMERICAN HORROR STORY Friday, Sept 16, FOX HD, 10pm The sixth instalment of Ryan Murphy’s horror drama arrives this week, with the plot, cast and subtitle being kept under wraps (until its US airing tomorrow) – even the trailers could be red herrings. But what we do know is that Lady Gaga, who scored a Golden Globe in January for her role as The Countess in the last series, Hotel, will be back.

In this week’s issue of TV&Satellite Week, the 30-year-old said this about working on Murphy’s macabre series: "I like being able to explore my dark side – it can be fun to indulge your wicked impulses."
