'American Horror Story' Season 12 Bringing A Novel To Life, Very Different Route From Past Seasons

Kim Kardashian has bagged an acting role she can brag about. The mom of four will star in American Horror Story season 12, telling the story of the soon-to-be-released novel.

The reality star turned mini lawyer turned businesswoman has acted before. Still, a role like the one on American Horror Story always offers up something out of the box, fun, and unconventional. Kardashian shared the news on Instagram in a cryptic post that only revealed one other detail.

Emma Roberts is back for season 12 and will be starring alongside Kardashian. The caption for the post didn't reveal much either on the mom of four's end; she only posted the eye emoji and a drop of blood…whatever that means.

Over on co-star Robert's social media platform, she shared a little more detail alongside the same promo trailer that Kardashian posted. "This summer…Kim and I are DELICATE #ahs #ahs12 @kimkardashian @ryanmurphyproductions 🕷️ 🤍 #delicate.”

The co-creator of the show Ryan Murphy also shared the post. "Emma and Kim are Delicate. This summer," he wrote and directed followers to a The Hollywood Reporter article.

The new addition to the cast isn't the only thing that is new about the upcoming season. The show will be written and run by a single writer, Halley Feiffer. In the past, it has been a team of three or more writers per season.

In a statement to THR, Murphy praised The Kardashian star for signing on the job. "Kim is among the world's biggest and brightest television stars, and we are t, thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family."

He continued, "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," he bragged.

Murphy hired Kim because he was impressed with how well she did hosting Saturday Night Live in 2021. They began chatting about the possibility of working together, and from that, a "unique" role was born.

While it's a big deal that Kardashian is in the season something that way cooler is for the first time, Murphy and Co use material written by someone else. Danielle Valentine's upcoming novel Delicate Condition is coming out in August; Its story will be told in season 12.

The novel is a story about a woman who is trying to get pregnant and becomes convinced that sinister powers that be at making sure that she never becomes a mother. Fellow author Andrea Bartz describes the novel as "the feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed."

This isn't Kardashian's first acting role, but it is the first one that will hold somewhat of a serious value. Typically, she plays characters that make fun of herself or other tropes in reality TV. This time, she is acting in a show that requires a more serious tone. We can't wait to see how Kim does in a thriller setting!
