Attention, American Horror Story fans: Lena Dunham is officially joining the cast.

This appears to be Dunham’s first gig since wrapping up the final season of HBO’s Girls in April.
Dunham, however, isn’t the first famous face to appear in the series. Jessica Lange had a leading role in the first four seasons, and Lady Gaga starred in its fifth and sixth seasons.
