New Season Of American Horror Story Gives Birth To New Nightmares

American Horror Story has been renewed for up to a thirteenth season, with fans getting their first tease of Season 12, subtitled Delicate. Back in April, series creator Ryan Murphy confirmed that Delicate would have Halley Feiffer as showrunner and be based on Danielle Valentine's Delicate Condition.

This will be the first season in the series' history to not only have Murphy out as showrunner but also one that leans into adapted source material. The teaser featured a lot of spider imagery and hints of pregnancy, which is the focus of Valentine's book.

Kim Kardashian was announced as the season's lead earlier this year, with series veteran Emma Roberts joining as well. Murphy described the season to The Hollywood Reporter as "ambitious and unlike anything [the series has] ever done" with Kardashian's character as "fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying". This will be Kardashian's first starring role in scripted television.

It had been rumored that production was paused when the WGA strike was called however, Deadline reported that filming for Season 12 did not stop and targeted Kardashian in particular for crossing the picket line. Production eventually did shut down later in May.

In addition to Kardashian and Roberts, the new season of AHS will feature Cara Delevingne, Zachary Quinto, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Odessa A'zion, Debra Monk, and Julie Monk.

American Horror Story: Delicate will premiere September 20 on FX, and available on Hulu.
