Later this month, FX will debut the latest season in its long-running American Horror Story franchise. Delicate, based on the book Delicate Condition, follows actress Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts) as she tries to get pregnant, eventually turning to a mysterious medical institute for help. However, after Alcott’s life begins to unravel, she begins to suspect if there is more at play. It promises to be one of the more dark and twisted stories the show has told.
A teaser was dropped earlier this year and it was later announced that the show would be split into two parts. It is believed that the split was necessitated by the SAG-AFTRA strike. However, now only a few weeks out from the premiere, FX has dropped their first full trailer for the show. It’s full of unsettling imagery while also only giving us hints of the plot to come. It also gives us plenty of series newcomer, Kim Kardashian. The series also adds Cara Delevingne to the AHS cast, while Zachary Quinto returns to the long-running horror anthology.
The trailer sets out what we’ve already mentioned. Anna Victoria Alcott is a successful yet still-ambitious actress who also wants a baby. However, her pregnancy is a complex one, made all the more complicated by the mysterious and sinister institution she chooses to work with. Furthermore, the trailer gives us our first proper look at Kardashian.
Kardashian plays Siobhan Walsh, who appears to be Alcott’s agent, manager, or similar. It’s unclear whose side Walsh is on. While she is never explicitly shown to us as working for the institution, that doesn’t make her any less sinister. At one point she can be heard asking “Do you want to win an Oscar? As much as you want to have a baby?” Meanwhile, Walsh is also seen at Alcott’s side many times as her world unravels. Only time will tell whose side Kardashian’s character is really on.
Kim Kardashian is stepping into the world of American Horror Story. Kim K, Emma Roberts, and Cara Delevingne are all present in a teaser that hit online on Thursday. Kardashian’s creepy character holds babies while giving all the haunting aura. You can see the full teaser below.
Many social media users were not happy when Kim Kardashian recently Tweeted from the set of American Horror Story. Various users responded to the seemingly innocent Tweet, condemning Kim for working amid the WGA strike. “I’m on the set of AHS and we have some time between shows. What are you all up to????” she asked followers. It appears as though Kim has not gotten the response that she expected. “Not crossing picket lines is what I’m up to,” one user comments.
Several others also replied to the Tweet, claiming to be out of work amid the strike. Others called her out for failing to “show solidarity with [her] brothers and sisters in the WGA.” Several users questioned why Kim isn’t supporting the strike, while some welcomed her to join picket lines. Kim has yet to respond to the backlash. The 2023 WGA strike began last month, and sees various workers seeking improved wages, better job stability, and more.
It was announced in April that Kardashian would be joining the cast of American Horror Story. She reportedly plays a major role in the series’ twelfth season, titled “Delicate.” She’ll be joined onscreen by AHS veterans Emma Roberts and Zachary Quinto, as well as some new faces like Cara Delevingne. Earlier this month, Quinto shared his thoughts on Kim’s acting chops at the premiere of his film He Went That Way at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“I did a cameo on this season of American Horror Story and I got to meet her,” Quinto told People, “She was so lovely and warm.” He went on to say that he believes Kim doesn’t need his advice, claiming to be impressed by “her spirit and her openness.” “She seemed really in her element,” he revealed. He went on to say that he looks forward to watching the upcoming season of AHS, as he’s sure Kim is going to nail her performance.
Kim Kardashian gained fame following the alleged leak of her sex tape in 2003. However, she recently revealed that despite her public persona, she is actually quite shy during intimate moments. On an episode of the reality show The Kardashians, the beauty mogul opened up about her preference for keeping the lights off during sex. During the episode, Kim and Scott Disick had a dinner conversation discussing Cher’s previous relationship with music executive Alexander Edwards, who had recently ended their relationship. Kim commented on a report claiming they were seen kissing at a party, and she admitted feeling insecure in such situations.
In a confessional segment, a producer from The Kardashians asked Kim if she preferred having the lights off during sex. She responded affirmatively, saying, “Kind of, yeah.” Kim explained that she finds it peculiar how she can confidently appear in revealing outfits during photoshoots, even with a large crew present. However, when it comes to being intimate with someone, she experiences self-consciousness and would rather have the lights turned off. The episode concludes by posing the question to viewers: “Lights on or off?” accompanied by a lightbulb and eyes emoji.

According to Zachary Quinto, Kim Kardashian has showcased significant acting talent and star power. She plays a big role in the upcoming season of American Horror Story. Quinto expressed his admiration for Kim’s work during the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of his new film He Went That Way. As an alumnus of the AHS franchise, Quinto confirmed that he will be making a cameo appearance in the series. He stated that based on what he has seen, Kim performed impressively and seemed comfortable in her element. He praised her spirit and openness, expressing his excitement to see her work in the final product. Quinto even admitted that he doesn’t believe she needs his advice.
In April, it was announced that Kim Kardashian would be joining the cast of American Horror Story for its twelfth season, titled “Delicate.” The announcement also revealed the return of Emma Roberts to the long-running series. Details about their roles have been kept under wraps. Last month, Kim was spotted heading into a meeting in Beverly Hills with a script for the show in hand. At the least, it indicates her commitment to the acting profession. Zachary Quinto’s remarks suggest that Kim is dedicated to honing her craft. What do you think about his comments?

American Horror Story transformed the landscape of TV horror. Prior to its premiere, the genre was viewed as too labor-intensive. It was believed the series couldn’t be sustained beyond feature films due to its dependence on constructing and relieving tension. However, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk were able to solve that problem.
Popular among viewers around the world, each season of this anthology series showcases a rotating ensemble of stellar actors such as Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, and Angela Bassett. And now, the incomparable Kim Kardashian is joining in on the fun – making a special appearance in the highly anticipated twelfth season, entitled Delicate, due to arrive this summer. Undeniably, American Horror Story cemented its mark in pop culture as one of the landmarks shows of the modern era. Here are the Top 10 American Horror Story seasons ranked.
10. Season 9 AHS: 1984
American Horror Story: 1984 endured the lack of long-term cast members, the weakest array to date. Billie Lourd and Emma Roberts valiantly tried to fill the gap, yet without Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson, it was too much. The season, a parody of the Friday The Thirteenth set in a summer camp, mimicked tropes of 1980s slasher flicks. Certain elements were successful, but the idiosyncratic tone of AHS showed in the montage scene with its spandex, it felt like American Horror Story rather than an 80s homage.
9. Season 5 AHS: Hotel
The most desirable season is widely known as one of its worst. Hotel sounded incredibly promising at the beginning: a mysterious hotel in Hollywood, with Lady Gaga in her first major acting debut, and vampires and murderers? It had all the expectations of a stellar season. Despite a magnificent performance from The Countess played by Gaga and an eye-catching aesthetic, the rest of it was mediocre or worse. It felt like a bizarre combination of a slasher flick with a romantic thriller that never quite achieved what it set out to do or produced any lasting shock. Further, the departure of the show’s beloved Jessica Lange certainly did not help.
8. Season 8 AHS: Apocalypse
The parade of beautiful men Ryan Murphy has focused on previously was well-casted, yet Cody Fern as Michael Langdon was unconvincing. He lacked the necessary sinister presence for a season dedicated to him. Though other seasons have refocused attention on more successful characters, American Horror Story: Apocalypse didn’t, staying solely tight-knit around this central performance. It eventually incorporates witches from AHS: Coven in the second half but fails to explore more Satanic motifs. The highlight of the season is Jessica Lange’s return as Constance Langdon from Season 1, though it ultimately proves too short-lived to salvage the convoluted story arcs.
7. Season 7 AHS: Cult
American Horror Story has rarely sought to depict current times, with Cult being the sole exception. This season is an answer to the 2016 presidential election and the uproar that President Donald Trump stirred up in American politics. Two primary characters are showcased: Ally, brilliantly portrayed by Sarah Paulson, who breaks down from fear in response to Trump’s win, and Kai, superbly acted by Evan Peters, who is empowered by the president and finds a cult of killer clowns. Depending on one’s political opinion, this season might prove controversial – yet its power is undeniable.
6. Season 11 AHS: NYC
American Horror Story: NYC is a return to its roots. Taking a far cry from the original, it offers an experience far superior to many of their recent seasons. Billie Lourd’s remarkable performance reigns supreme, with the integration of real-life events handled delicately and discreetly. This season boasts a massive breadth, delivering new avenues for the story spread out widely and gracefully, avoiding any possibility of being stuck in redundant horror cycles. As well, Murphy has provided a much-needed representation of LGBTQ+ within the genre, something they have become renowned for.
5. Season 4 AHS: Freak Show
American Horror Story: Freak Show has a powerful conclusion that doesn’t make up for its somewhat anticlimactic plot. What begins as a captivating beginning quickly evolves into a drama more than a fright fest. The untimely demise of Meep in AHS: Freak Show is indicative of this. The season is essentially an extended remake of the renowned film The Freaks, which itself is featured in the show. Lange revives her past brilliance with a great performance, while Evan Peters as Jimmy Darling captures our hearts with his adorable mannerisms. This season is more sorrowful than scary, exhibiting the evil that lies within the depths of human nature – and oh yeah, semi-terrifying clowns.
4. Season 1 AHS: Murder House
The original American Horror Story is close to faultless and has its purest iteration. Every character is deeply drawn, with a tragic tone that reaches its peak by the end. Rather than being overly structured, it allows events to unravel slowly and carefully, creating an intensity so strong one can almost feel it. Eventually revealed as a portal to Hell in AHS: Apocalypse, Tate remains at the core of the sinister Murder House. Jessica Lange’s remarkable performance is what ultimately led to the show’s second season and lasting legacy.
3. Season 10 AHS: Double Feature
Double Feature has it all – twice. Two locations, two stories with shockers, and double the dread. This season will bring you Red Tide and Death Valley – one at the seashore, the other on land. The interesting thing is how the topics and moods in each interconnect.
Red Tide stars a struggling scribe and his family as they arrive at a seaside village for wintertime. There, the inhabitants show their true horrific side. It reads like something out of Stephen King’s work. In Death Valley, a college gang goes camping only for them to be embroiled in an epic conspiracy that surpasses their imaginations. Both tales depict people taking a chance, only for them to regret it. Taking that plunge put Double Feature firmly in the success column of American Horror Story Seasons.
2. Season 3 AHS: Coven
Often favored by viewers, American Horror Story: Coven leaves much to be admired, particularly for its bold and assertive performances. The season features an excellent cast with talented additions Angela Bassett and Kathy Bates joining Paulson’s Fiona and Lange’s Cordelia. Unfortunately, the conclusion, though abrupt, fails to do justice to its characters. The season also marks a noteworthy performance from the late Leslie Jordan.
1. Season 2 AHS: Asylum
Asylum marked the first attempt of American Horror Story to use an anthology approach. After the resounding success of Murder House, the show moved on to a new tale entirely in Season 2. It surpassed expectations, set in the 1960s and centering around Briarcliff Manor, a mental asylum presided over by those who preferred to hide their atrocities instead of helping the afflicted. The narrative begins as a reporter is unjustly institutionalized for being a lesbian and then becomes witness to the macabre terror that exists within those walls. Jessica Lange gave one of her most memorable performances in AHS. The plot was so ambitious it has yet to be rivaled.
Today, Kim posted a video to her 352 million followers on Instagram, revealing she will be joining the next season of American Horror Story on FX. The brief trailer showed Kim Kardashian’s name alongside actress and TikTok star Emma Roberts, who also boasts a huge online presence, including 19.7 million followers on Instagram.
The teaser included a creepy version of “Rock-a-bye, Baby,” at the end revealing a voice that whispers, “Emma and Kim are delicate.”
While Kim has most famously been known for her role on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which recently celebrated its 20th season, now, it looks like she’s diving head first into scripted television.
Ryan Murphy, writer and director of American Horror Story, states, “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family. 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.”
Halley Fieffer has been appointed the sole showrunner for this chapter of AHS. Allegedly, Murphy was impressed by Kim’s exciting hosting gig on Saturday Night Live back in 2021 and reached out last summer to have her join AHS.
Kim Kardashian announced via her Instagram today that she will be joining the cast of the long-running anthology horror series, American Horror Story. The show is now entering its twelfth season. It began airing in 2011, and for several years, it was a pop culture phenomenon. The show made megastars of actors like Sarah Paulson and Emma Roberts, both of whom experienced a surge in popularity after appearing on the show. It also reinvigorated the careers of legendary actresses like Angela Bassett and Jessica Lange. Around the time of its fourth season, however, the show began to decline in popularity. It would then see many of its mainstays jumping ship to move on to bigger and better things. As such, the show began to struggle to remain relevant.
Kim Kardashian’s announcement that she was cast in the newest season is no real surprise. American Horror Story frequently plays host to some of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Sometimes, they appear in guest roles. Other times, they are the main stars of the season. Lady Gaga’s entire career path changed after she was cast in the show’s fifth season. She’s gone on to become quite a sought-after actress. Sadly, the latter half of the show’s run has mostly been a disappointment to fans. So, it’s really no surprise that they would try to pull out all the stops. Casting Kim Kardashian will certainly bump up the viewership. As for Kim, it’s another attempt at branching out in her career. So far, those attempts haven’t worked in her favor, but maybe this will be different.
The teaser for the twelfth season of American Horror Story, which Kim posted to her Instagram, shows very little. In the show’s typical fashion, they are keeping the story under wraps. In the video, a minor-key version of “Rock-a-bye Baby” plays as text displays the words “Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts are delicate.” American Horror Story fans will be delighted that Roberts is returning, as she has been a series staple. Their reaction to Kim might not be so welcoming. This is not her first acting role, but her only other credit is for voicing a character in an animated film. So, Kim has a lot to prove. As many may remember, Kim’s other ventures into the performing arts haven’t fared so well.
In 2011, she released the critically-panned song, “My Jam (Turn It Up)”. It was mercilessly made fun of on the internet, television, and radio. She hasn’t done much in the way of performing since besides the animated film. She was recently announced to have linked up with James Corden for an episode of Carpool Karaoke, but no release date has been revealed. Still, her fans are excited to see her in the new season of American Horror Story. Most of the comments on her post are extremely positive. “Emma Roberts AND KIM? in MY ahs? the gays will go extinct,” one user commented. Another had no idea what the show was, but was excited anyway, stating, “Omg WHAAAT AHS?! Whatever it is I NEEEED.” What do you think about the news? Sound off in the comments!
