Hit FX anthology show American Horror Story (AHS) is known for its massive list of guest stars who have appeared on it. Joining the long list of names is Kim Kardashian, as she will be appearing in the show’s 12th season with series regular Emma Roberts.

Know all about American Horror Story and its 12th season
The show, which streams on Hulu, was created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk in 2011. Each of its 11 seasons has a subtitle. Thus, while American Horror Story season 1 is subtitled Murder House, those for the subsequent seasons are Asylum, Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, Roanoke, Cult, Apocalypse, 1984, Double Feature and NYC, in that order.
The 12th season, subtitled Delicate, is based partly on Danielle Valentine’s upcoming novel Delicate Condition, which is about a woman who is convinced that a malevolent entity is trying to prevent her pregnancy.
Kim Kardashian’s role in AHS
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), Murphy said, “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.”
“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,” Murphy added.
According to THR, the role that Kardashian will play in Delicate has been written specifically for her.
Kardashian has made many other appearances in movies and television serials. These include How I Met Your Mother, CSI: NY and 30 Rock, besides Saturday Night Live, which she hosted.
She is also not the first major celebrity to have got a role in AHS, which has seen a galaxy of stars appear across its 11 seasons.
