American Horror Story Delicate: Cast, Plot
Kim Kardashian Is Taking Acting Lessons to Prepare For "American Horror Story": "It's a Challenge"
The cast of "American Horror Story" season 12 just keeps growing! In April, it was announced that Kim Kardashian had officially joined the anthology series alongside Emma Roberts. Kardashian unveiled the news on her Instagram on 10 April, sharing a video set to eerie music. The clip reveals she and Roberts are starring in a new chapter of the anthology series called "Delicate." Roberts shared the same video on her Instagram along with the caption, "This summer…Kim and I are DELICATE."
Variety confirmed the news shortly after Kardashian posted the video, with a rep for "American Horror Story" creator Ryan Murphy telling the outlet that the star's character was designed especially for her. Reps for FX and Kardashian did not respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment.
Speaking to Variety at the 2023 Met Gala, Kardashian gave an update on filming, saying, "We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month. But production has already started and I'm so excited." Though she didn't reveal much about her role, she did add, "It's really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I'm so excited for the experience." Kardashian also revealed she's taking acting lessons to prepare, saying, "It's a challenge. I like to challenge myself."
Kardashian's "American Horror Story" debut will be her largest acting role to date. She's had smaller roles in 2008's "Disaster Movie," 2009's "CSI: NY," and 2012's "Drop Dead Diva," among others, and in the years since she's made a number of high-profile cameos and hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live." She's also continued to work on her business and reality TV projects, and the third season of "The Kardashians" hits Disney+ on 25 May.
