The new season of American Horror Story has been titled, with Kim Kardashian & Emma Roberts set to star. THR reports that the 12th season is titled “Delicate” and will star Kardashian and Roberts.
The new installment will be the first to be an adaptation of a previous source material, namely Danielle Valentine’s novel Delicate Condition. The season is also the first to be written and showrun by a single writer in Halley Feiffer.
“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” co-creator Ryan Murphy told the outlet. “Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
The report notes that Murphy and Kardashian are friends, and that Murphy was impressed by Kardashian’s 2021 gig hosting Saturday Night Live. Murphy and Kardashian began to speak last summer about “crafting a unique role for her scripted TV debut.” Details about both actress’ roles are being kept quiet.
The novel Delicate Condition is set to be published in August and is described as follows:
Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she’s gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.
Then her doctor tells her she’s had a miscarriage―except Anna’s convinced she’s still pregnant despite everything the grave-faced men around her claim. She can feel the baby moving inside her, can see the strain it’s taking on her weakening body. Vague warnings become direct threats as someone stalks her through the bleak ghost town of the snowy Hamptons. As her symptoms and sense of danger grow ever more horrifying, Anna can’t help but wonder what exactly she’s carrying inside of her…and why no one will listen when she says something is horribly, painfully wrong.
Kardashian teased her involvement earlier on Monday, posting to her Instagram:
