If you haven’t been tuning into American Horror Story (AHS), the 12th season may be the perfect time to tap in. Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s award-winning anthology series is back with yet another cast of very famously familiar faces.
Previous seasons have starred Lady Gaga, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters. On the 12th season, titled American Horror Story: Delicate, Emma Roberts, who has been on AHS since 2013, returns to the series in the role of actress Anna Victoria Alcott.
The synopsis reads, “After multiple failed attempts of IVF, actress Anna Victoria Alcott wants nothing more than to start a family. As the buzz around her recent film grows, she fears that something may be targeting her – and her pursuit of motherhood.”
This season also stars AHS veteran Leslie Grossman, Cara Delevingne (Carnival Row), Matt Czuchry (The Resident), Michaela Jae “MJ” Rodriguez (Pose), Debra Monk (New Amsterdam), and Julie White (NCIS: Hawai’i).
Reality TV star and business entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is also a part of the cast to the surprise of many diehard AHS fans. In an official teaser from FX, Kardashian appears to be an overly ambitious talent agent or publicist by the name of Siobhan Walsh.

AHS is not Kardashian’s first flirtation with scripted content. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star got her start as an extra in Christina Lilian’s “Dip It Low” music video in 2004 before taking roles in Disaster Movie, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, Tyler Perry’s Temptation, Ocean’s Eight, and the PAW Patrol film franchise.
So while the consensus of many fall along the lines that Kardashian is not good enough to be a part of the AHS series, the showrunners of the show seem to think otherwise.
American Horror Story: Delicate premieres Wednesday, Sept. 20 on FX and streamer Hulu.
