Kim K Enters Her Scream Queen Era, Joins AHS — Here's What We Know
She will play opposite Emma Roberts in season 12.
American Horror Story is returning for a 12th season and it’s bringing a Kardashian with it. Today Kim Kardashian shared, via her Instagram account, that she will be joining the long-running, super-queer horror series.
A slow creepy lullaby plays as the video announces that Kardashian and Emma Roberts are “delicate,” revealing this season’s title.
While details about her upcoming season are scant, Variety reports that Kim K’s role was created just for her.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this season is based in part on Danielle Valentine’s upcoming novel Delicate Condition which hits shelves this August and is about a woman who increasingly comes to believe that her ability to become pregnant is being stymied by a sinister figure, who “is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens.”
Murphy is excited to have Kardashian entering the AHS fold. “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” he said in a statement to THR. “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.”
Roberts has previously starred in several AHS seasons and this marks her return after a year hiatus. While this is not Kardashian’s first foray into acting, having previously appeared in cameos on How I Met Your Mother to 30 Rock, 2 Broke Girls, and most recently, Ocean’s 8, this is her most high-profile role to date — honestly, the most surprising thing about Kim joining the AHS universe is that it took until season 12!
