Well according to TV Line, an a deal has been made. And a few details were given away about Meloni's character, which was described as being a "powerful vampire."
According
to the HBO series creator Alan Ball, Meloni will play an “ancient, powerful vampire who holds the fate of Bill and Eric
in his hands.” Though there’s still not a lot of details regarding his character
on the show or what exact plot he’ll play in the 5th season, one can

from the return of American Horror Story star Denis O'Hare in the role of Russell
Edgington.
No

the cast next season will be Scott Foley, Lucy Griffiths, Dale Dickey, Louis
Herthum and Kelly Overton.
