Kim Kardashian may have conquered the worlds of beauty, fashion and even the criminal justice system, but the mogul has taken on a new challenge as an actress for season 12 of American Horror Story.
Though the billionaire has had a handful of appearances in shows like How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls and Paw Patrol, this is her biggest scripted role yet. Kardashian stars alongside AHS alum Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne in the upcoming season.
Announcing the exciting news, Kardashian took to Instagram to share a teaser clip for the FX show. Featuring eerie music and graphics, the short clip read: “This Summer, Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are delicate.” She captioned the post with emojis of eyes and blood.
Unlike previous seasons, which have all been original stories based on various themes and characters, this season, entitled American Horror Story: Delicate, is partly based on Danielle Valentine’s novel Delicate Condition.
The novel, which will only be released in August, is described as a “gripping thriller about a woman who becomes convinced that a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens.” It’s also been described as “the feminist update to Rosemary’s Baby we all needed,” per a review by author Andrea Bartz.
And now, in the new teaser trailer for season twelve, we get an eerie peak at Kardashian’s character.
“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” said AHS co-creator Ryan Murphy about the reveal that she would be starring in AHS.
“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.”
Filming has been going on in New York for months, as a summer premiere was promised to fans.
