Francis Conroy Among Guest Stars for USA's ROYAL PAINS Season 5

Deadline reports that 'American Horror Story' actress Frances Conroy will appear in a multi-episode story arc during the upcoming fifth season of USA Network's ROYAL PAINS.

Conroy will portray Blythe Ballard, described as "a member of the Hamptons "royalty" who lives in the estate next to Hank (Feuerstein) and Evan's (Paulo Costanzo) residence, Shadow Pond."

In addition to Conroy, the season will feature guest appearances from Callum Blue (Smallville, The Tudors), Stephen Bishop (Moneyball), Kevin Kilner (House Of Cards), and Liza Lapira (Don't Trust the B- In Apartment 23).

USA's highest rated series, "Royal Pains," stars Mark Feuerstein as Dr. Hank Lawson who embarks on a fresh start with his medical practice and separates from his brother, Evan (Paulo Costanzo), who also starts his own venture. As Divya (Reshma Shetty) attempts to reconcile the brothers, HankMed teams up once more in The Face of a Hamptons' emergency.

"Royal Pains" is executive-produced by Andrew Lenchewski and Michael Rauch, as well as Rich Frank, Paul Frank and Jeff Kwatinetz from Prospect Park. The series is filmed entirely in New York (Long Island and Brooklyn) and at various locations in and around the Hamptons.

The series returns to the USA Network for a fifth season this summer.
