American Horror Story quickly became a fan favorite television series after its initial debut in 2011. Each season has centered around a new theme/plot line, keeping viewers on the edges of their seats from beginning to end.
Not only that, but the show boasts a cast of high-profile celebrities, ranging from Sarah Paulson to Evan Peters to Emma Roberts. There have even been A-listers that have guest starred in various seasons, such as Lady Gaga, Billy Eichner, Stevie Nicks, and Adam Levine. Soon to join them will be America's biggest reality star herself, Kim Kardashian.
The socialite has plenty of on-screen experience thanks to her reality shows Keeping Up with the Kardashians and now The Kardashians, as well as making cameo appearances in various TV episodes and movies like 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, and Ocean's 8.
Her lack of scripted acting did not deter American Horror Story producers, however, as they specifically sought after Kardashian for a role in their upcoming season 12 release, American Horror Story: Delicate. Here is a look into what Kim's role will be and what other surprises the new season will have in store for us.
8 When Will American Horror Story Season 12 Be Released?
The 11th season of American Horror Story came to an end in November 2022. Since then, fans have been eagerly anticipating season 12, and good news: it is on the way!
While there has not been an official release date shared yet, the producers are optimistic that it should hit our screens this fall. The filming begins this month (April 2023), meaning we should be seeing the finished product around September.
7 What Is The Storyline For Season 12?
American Horror Story is known for having original storylines every season. With everything that is going on in each episode, the themes vary from season to season. Season 11 was subtitled as American Horror Story: NYC, since it focused on the city of New York as a subplot/character.
Season 12 will be titled American Horror Story: Delicate. It will be the first season of the show that takes heavy inspiration from an outside source: the novel Delicate Condition by author Danielle Valentine. The book was published in August 2022, following a storyline of great thrill, suspense, and suspect.
6 Kim Kardashian Is Joining The AHS Family
Kim Kardashian is taking a big step taking on a roll in American Horror Story, despite her previous experience in Hollywood. Though she was not meant to be the show runner for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she found herself as leading-lady anyway, proving her value in front of the camera.
When asked about why Kim Kardashian of all people was sought out for this new role, Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the series, replied, "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."
5 What Will Kim Kardashian's AHS Role Entail?
So we know Kim Kardashian will have a prominent role in American Horror Story: Delicate, but what will her character look like? As of now, this is what we know: "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."
It is obvious that Kim's net worth does not need the boost, so she must be excited about taking on this new challenge. The writer, Halley Feiffer, and the rest of the team began speaking with the reality star "last summer about crafting a unique role for her scripted TV debut." This likely means Kardashian will either play a villain or an intense antiheroine.
4 Who Else Is Joining The AHS Season 12 Cast List?
Kim Kardashian is a big name, but she is not the only one to be joining the cast list for season 12. Along with some of the cast regulars, actor Matt Czuchry will be appearing in American Horror Story: Delicate.
Czuchry is perhaps best known for his starring role in The Resident. The medical drama aired for six seasons, wrapping its final episode in January of this year. There is not much known about the type of character Matt will be playing yet, but fans are excited to see him back on the small screen.
3 Halley Feiffer Is The American Horror Story Season 12 Writer & Show Runner
In another turn of events, season 12 is changing up the way they prepare for the show. Typically, the seasons are written by a minimum of two people, with a multitude of show runners.
American Horror Story: Delicate is going to be the first season of the series written by only one person, and she will also be the show's only show runner. Halley Feiffer has experience both in acting and writing, and was excited to take on the writer position all on her own.
2 Will Emma Roberts Return To The Screen In American Horror Story?
There is no doubt that Emma Roberts and Evan Peters helped shape American Horror Story. With on-screen chemistry so believable, fans have begun wondering what their relationship is like when the cameras are not rolling.
Luckily, the modern scream queen herself will be returning for the twelfth season. Fans should get ready, because Roberts is coming back with a vengeance for Delicate, ready to give her all in this production.
1 How Many More Seasons Of American Horror Story Can We Expect?
Unfortunately, all things must come to an end. Lucky for American Horror Story fans, that end is still off in the distance. Back in 2020, the series was renewed for an addition three seasons, which would bring us to season 13. There is no evidence yet of whether that will be the series finale or if another renewal will take place, but our fingers are crossed.
When talking about the series in 2020, the chairperson of FX Networks and FX Productions shared, "Ryan and Brad are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX's highest-rated series"
