Exclusive: Two-time Emmy-nominee Lizzy Caplan and BAFTA award winner Tom Riley, have launched Westborn Pictures production company. Under the banner, the husband-wife duo will develop, produce, write and direct content for film and television.

“We couldn’t decide between starting this company or having another (human) baby. Ultimately we opted for the company, but have leaned into a ‘soothing nursery aesthetic’ for all office space. We are thrilled to be teaming up with so many extraordinary partners in order to fulfill the company’s remit of developing character-driven, messy stories that ask the viewer to seek out nuance at a time when it’s most under threat,” Caplan and Riley said in a joint statement.

Caplan and Riley have over two decades of shared experience on either side of the camera,...

Ever since August 2024, fans have gotten a chance to peek behind the curtain of entertainment PR. With Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni caught in a very public and messy legal drama following It Ends With Us, the audience found out more about what happens behind the scenes.

Words like astroturfing, smear campaigns, and crisis PR weren't terms regular people were familiar with if not working in the PR industry. Following the ongoing legal drama, which includes defamation, sexual harassment, and smear campaign claims, everyone got a peek at what publicists and PR specialists deal with. Everyone expects the legal drama to end up becoming a documentary at some point, and Netflix is one step ahead, winning a bid for a drama series about a PR crisis, Deadline reports.

The upcoming drama will star Lizzy Caplan as a crisis PR executive who "helps high-profile clients navigate the worst days of their...

Netflix has snagged an of-the-moment drama about a crisis PR consultant, with Lizzy Caplan attached to star.

The currently untitled show comes from A24, Vox Media Studios and American Horror Story: Delicate showrunner Halley Feiffer. Netflix outbid several other outlets for the project and has begun development on it. It’s based on a New York magazine profile of PR executive Risa Heller, whose firm specializes in crisis communications and has represented the likes of Jeff Zucker, Anthony Weiner and Jared Kushner.

Netflix declined to comment.

The potential series will follow Caplan’s (Fleishman Is in Trouble, Zero Day) character, the premier crisis PR fixer in New York, who helps clients navigate the worst days of their lives while trying to maintain her own image as a wife and mother without any crises of her own.

The world of crisis communications has had a moment in the spotlight recently as...

Lizzy Caplan and A24’s new crisis PR drama series has landed at Netflix, TheWrap has learned.

After a competitive bidding situation, Netflix has acquired the rights to the untitled project, and the series is currently in development at the streamer, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.

Based on the viral New York Magazine article “Get Me Risa Heller!” the new series will star Caplan as New York’s premiere crisis PR fixer, who “helps high-profile clients navigate the worst days of their lives while striving to maintain her own image as a happily married mother of three without any crises of her own to hide,” per the official synopsis.

Halley Feiffer, who most recently served as showrunner for “American Horror Story: Delicate,” will write and showrun for the series, which is produced by A24. In “AHS: Delicate,” Kim Kardashian starred as PR maven Siobhan Corbyn, who carefully curated the...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation with multiple bidders, a drama starring Lizzy Caplan as a crisis PR executive has landed at Netflix for development, Deadline has learned. A rep for the streamer declined comment.

As Deadline previously reported, the untitled project, from American Horror Story: Delicate showrunner Halley Feiffer, A24, Caplan’s Westborn banner, Marti Noxon‘s Tiny Pyro Productions and Vox Media Studios, hit the marketplace last month amid the ongoing Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni legal drama that has put crisis PR in the spotlight. The timely project quickly drew five offers, including inquiries from Hulu, Netflix and Amazon.

The potential series is based on the New York Magazine article “Get Me Risa Heller!” by Shawn McCreesh. The article profiles crisis PR veteran Heller, who has worked with the likes of Jeff Zucker, Mario Batali, Anthony Weiner, Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Toobin.

Written by Feiffer, who will serve as showrunner,...

Exclusive: Crisis PR experts’ job is to be invisible fixers, staying behind the scenes while navigating their clients’ way out of a scandal. The Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni saga changed that, with crisis PR veteran Melissa Nathan front and center in the duo’s legal war. And now a timely drama about a fictional crisis PR executive played by Lizzy Caplan has hit the TV marketplace, sparking interest and landing five offers, with Hulu, Netflix and Amazon among those pursuing, I hear.

No one would comment but the untitled series, from American Horror Story: Delicate showrunner Halley Feiffer, A24, Caplan’s Westborn banner, Vox Media Studios and Marti Noxon’s Tiny Pyro Productions, is inspired by the New York Magazine article “Get Me Risa Heller!” by Shawn McCreesh, sources said.

American Horror Story is one of FX’s most successful series to date, airing for 12 cycles (and 132 episodes) since 2011 and winning 17 Emmys along the way. In January 2020, the cable network made the bold decision to renew Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk‘s horror anthology series for three more installments — Season 11, Season 12, and Season 13. That ensures the flagship show will be on our TV screens through at least the year 2025. Scary good!

Here’s everything to know so far about American Horror Story Season 13. Bookmark this page as we’ll be updating it whenever new information is revealed.

American Horror Story Season 13 Update

In October 2024, FX chairman John Landgraf gave an update on the future of AHS when he told Variety, “One of the reasons that I thought that American Horror Story was such a brilliant...

Ryan Murphy can’t stop winning this year. “American Horror Stories” hit No. 1 on Hulu’s Top 15 Today the week of its debut, making it the eighth Murphy show to hit dominate viewership in 2024.

“It’s like having eight children and they all got accepted to college,” Murphy told TheWrap. “I’m like, ‘Ok, well, I did my job.’ It feels good.”

It’s an unprecedented winning streak that started in January with the star-studded “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” from Murphy, Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam, a series that was nominated for 10 Emmys and won for Outstanding Period Costumes for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. It was then followed by the second half of “American Horror Story: Delicate” in April, a season that was showrun by Halley Feiffer and led by Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian. Both jumped to the No. 1 spot on Hulu’s Top 15 list after their premieres.

At this weekend’s Creative Arts ceremony, FX’s long-running “American Horror Story” series surprised awards pundits when it won its first Emmy Award in seven years. The victory came in the contemporary costumes category for the 12th season, “American Horror Story: Delicate,” which had extra buzz this year because it famously featured Kim Kardashian dressed to kill (literally) as publicist-turned-demon Siobhan Corbyn.

This marks the 17th overall Emmy for “AHS,” with its last win being for the prosthetic makeup in Season 6’s “Roanoke.” See all of the “American Horror Story” Emmy wins through the years in our updated photo gallery below (or click here for direct access). The spooky show has notably garnered four acting wins so far for Jessica Lange (both “AHS: Murder House” and “AHS: Coven”), James Cromwell (“AHS: Asylum”) and Kathy Bates (“AHS: Coven”).

“AHS: Delicate” tells the story of young actress named Anna Victoria Alcott...

‘AHS: Delicate’ concludes with one of ‘American Horror Story’s’ most disappointing finales that makes up its own rules, hammers in rote themes, and then turns to dust.

“When are they going to let us tell our own stories?”

A pregnancy brings genetic material together until it culminates into a person and American Horror Story: Delicate also tells a story where its success is dependent upon the season’s ability to tie all of its ideas together into a satisfying finale. Pregnancy stories are all about the ending and one’s enjoyment of “The Auteur” really comes down to what you want out of an American Horror Story finale. Anyone who’s watched the series has been burnt by past finales that are underbaked or overwrought. There are also only so many places that a season finale that begins with Anna in labor can go. Most pregnancy horror stories are...

‘AHS: Delicate’ enters early labor with a fun, frenzied episode that finds the perfect tone and goes for broke as its water breaks.

“I’ll figure it out. Women always do.”

American Horror Story is no stranger to remixing real-life history with ludicrous, heightened Murphy-isms, whether it’s AHS: 1984’s incorporation of Richard Ramirez, AHS: Cult’s use of Valerie Solanas, or AHS: Coven’s prominent role for the Axeman of New Orleans. Accordingly, it’s very much par for the course for AHS: Delicate to riff on other pop culture touchstones and infinitely warp them to its wicked whims. That being said, it takes real guts to do a postmodern feminist version of Rosemary’s Baby and then actually put Mia Farrow – while she’s filming Rosemary’s Baby, no less – into the narrative. This is the type of gonzo bullshit that I want out of American Horror Story!

Season 12 of the anthology series American Horror Story, which is also known as American Horror Story: Delicate, started airing back in September… but due to the writers and actors strikes, the season had to be split in half. (Just like Chucky season 3.) The second half of the season is set to start airing on FX on Wednesday, April 3 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt. The return episode will then be available to watch on the Hulu streaming service the next day. The second half of this season consists of four episodes, which will air on a weekly basis. With the season resuming in just under two weeks, a trailer for the second half has been released and can be seen in the embed above.

Deadline notes, “The series will be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories at a later date.”

It’s looking bleak for Anna in her pursuit of motherhood in Part Two of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s American Horror Story: Delicate. FX has released the first trailer for the final episodes of the 12th installment of the anthology series, and not surprisingly, it features some shocking scenes.

In one quick shot, we see Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian locking lips. We also see Anna (Roberts) discovering some dark secrets about her publicist Siobhan (Kardashian). “You’re a monster,” Roberts tells Kardashian to which she replies, “Oh no, babe. I’m so much worse.”

The trailer opens with Anna (Roberts) snacking on a bone and telling Siobhan (Kardashian) “Something’s happening to me.” She’s definitely on to something here.

We also are treated to images of spider-like creatures crawling out of a pregnant Anna’s (Roberts) belly.

Per the logline: “In American Horror Story: Delicate,...

After a six-month break, American Horror Story is clawing its way back.

The 12th season in FX’s hit horror anthology from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk was split into two parts, an effect of the 2023 dual Hollywood strikes. The first five episodes of AHS: Delicate concluded in October 2023, and now the final four episodes will kick off weekly beginning April 3.

And the trailer (below) for the back-half of the season shows that viewers will finally get some answers around the mysteries swirling over the starring trio played by Emma Roberts, Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne.

The Satanic cult-themed new footage confirms that something is very wrong with rising actress Anna Alcott, played by Roberts, who is seen snacking on bones and imagining spiders crawling out of her pregnant belly.

The first half of the season saw Anna torn between her Oscar-level acting aspirations and wanting a family. In the new footage,...

“American Horror Story: Delicate” Part 2 appears to be full steam ahead thanks to Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian enjoying a kiss in the just-released video trailer (watch below). FX’s horror anthology series returns on Wednesday, April 3 with the first of its final four episodes of Season 12. Note that “AHS” was split into two parts for this installment because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes that shuttered Hollywood for much of the 2023 calendar year.

The first five episodes of “American Horror Story: Delicate” aired in September-October, telling the story of an up-and-coming actress named Anna Victoria Alcott (Roberts) who’s campaigning on the awards circuit while dealing with supernatural pregnancy issues. Kardashian plays her foul-mouthed publicist, Siobhan Corbyn, and Matt Czuchry takes on the role of her husband, Dex Harding. In the new clip, Siobhan seems surprised to see Anna chomping on an animal bone.

Consisting of four episodes, the rest of the season is set to make its debut Wednesday, April 3 at 10/9c on FX. The episode will be available to stream the next day on Hulu. The news was announced Friday ahead of FX’s presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.

As has become custom, “Delicate” stars several actors who’ve appeared in previous “AHS” installments, including Emma Roberts, Denis O’Hare, Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman. Newcomers to the madness include Kim Kardashian, Matt Czuchry, Cara Delevingne, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Julie White, Juliana Canfield and Maaz Ali.

American Horror Story: Delicate Part 2 premieres Wednesday, April 3 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on FX and streaming the next day on Hulu. The four-episode second half of the anthology horror drama will premiere with one episode, and a new episode each following Wednesday. The series will be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories at a later date.

Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk executive produce alongside Alexis Martin Woodall, Halley Feiffer, John J. Gray and Scott Robertson. The series, which is renewed for a 13th season, is produced by 20th Television.

American Horror Story season 12 features a new concept as it is partially based on an existing novel, a departure from the show's usual format. The novel, called Delicate Condition, tackles themes of pregnancy, women's autonomy, and patriarchy, adding a feminist perspective to the story. The addition of Kim Kardashian as a cast member indicates that American Horror Story is willing to take risks and try something different in season 12, while still appealing to longtime viewers with Emma Roberts's return.

American Horror Story season 12 features a first for the anthology series. The new season sees The Resident star Matt Czuchry as Dexter Harding and returning cast member Emma Roberts, who's appeared in five past seasons, as Anna Victoria Alcott but the more surprising addition is Kim Kardashian, who stars alongside the other two in the key role of Siobhan Corbyn. However, the big change is that American Horror Story season 12, subtitled Delicate,...

American Horror Story: Delicate's strike-necessitated rollout isn't doing first-time showrunner Halley Feiffer any favors. With the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes (eventually) shutting down production of the latest AHS iteration, Wednesday night's episode, "Preech," served as an unplanned mid-season finale. The fifth episode in a ten-episode season doesn't usually provide the kind of cliffhanger that's preferred for a mid-season finale, particularly if we don't know when we're going to get the rest of an unproduced season.

The most recent installment in the ever-popular horror franchise, American Horror Story, is here just in time for the spooky season of October. The first few episodes of season 12 are available to stream on Hulu or watch on the FX cable channel. This new season titled Delicate is deviating from the anthology's typical formula of original stories and instead is based on the novel Delicate Condition by Daniell Valentine. Ryan Murphy has also passed the torch to Halley Feiffer as the primary writer and showrunner for this season while Murphy focuses on other projects.

Joining the cast in this newest addition to AHS is Emma Roberts as actress Anna Alcott and Kim Kardashian as Siobhan Walsh, Alcott's publicist. Additional cast includes Zachary Quinto, Cara Delevingne as Meg, Matt Czuchry as Dexter Harding, Billie Lourd as Olympia, Denis O'Hare as Dr. Crawford, Leslie Grossman as Emily Chapman, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez as Cora.

Only in the American Horror Story universe are you not totally dumbfounded by the fact that the cold open just made you go back and check if you’re watching the right show. And when a narrative is this unpredictable and the horror creeps you out way more than it sends chills down your spine, you know that Delicate is finally on its way to achieving cult status. Just like the rest of the deliciously morbid seasons that make American Horror Story what it is. Witches, satanic abuse, demonic children, and the freakiest pregnancy craving combined—Anna might just get nominated for the Most Miserable Pregnant Woman Award. At least throwing up on the stage wouldn’t be that big of a deal.

Things Have Been Brewing For A While

If you’d heard me squeal at the top of my lungs when episode 4’s cold open took...

American Horror Stories' upcoming season, premiering on October 26th, promises a unique anthology of four self-contained episodes with unsettling visuals. The third season will feature former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna in an episode titled "Tapeworm," adding to the mystery surrounding the season's plot. American Horror Story: Delicate, the twelfth installment of the series, brings a change in leadership and draws inspiration from Danielle Valentine's novel. Initial reviews suggest that while the debut is decent, there is potential for the series to head in a cleaner and more coherent direction.

American Horror Stories, the spinoff of American Horror Story, is gearing up for its third season with the release of a new teaser. This upcoming four-episode Huluween event, set to premiere on October 26th, promises to deliver more than just the usual dose of spookiness. In contrast to its parent series, American Horror Stories is structured as a self-contained anthology,...

“American Horror Story: Delicate” is off to a brutally bland start. We’re already three weeks into the series’ first attempt at a book adaptation for the FX horror show — a mainstay in seasonal television disappointments, now in its twelfth installment — and next to nothing has happened.

Set against contemporary Hollywood via Manhattan (and later the Hamptons), author Danielle Valentine’s “Delicate Condition” could have provided the basis for a decent limited series or possibly a movie. But AHS needed something meatier than a middling “Rosemary’s Baby” redux to keep the anthology’s rapidly diminishing legacy from swirling down the drain like hormone-riddled pee. And yet somehow, Ryan Murphy and co-creator Brad Falchuk have let a series that once had Frances Conroy cannibalizing a still-alive Adina Porter become excruciatingly boring.

AHS seasons usually start strong and shocking, taking big swings to separate out the true-blue (and I do mean blue...

There comes a point in each season of American Horror Story where the story transcends its stern idiosyncrasy and is accepted into the grander Murphy-Falchuk universe. When the Bough Breaks seems to be that very rite of passage, hinting at the rousing possibility that Delicate isn’t as disconnected as we thought. Since convalescence after an emotionally and physically draining experience isn’t a concept that fits into the cruel frame of any American Horror Story narrative, Anna’s got no respite from the brutal all-around agony she’s been going through. Let’s see what trouble the grieving actress has gotten into this week.

Callously multiplying the stakes that waged a war against Anna’s emotional and physical well-being in Multiply Thy Pain, the second episode hoists her up only to drop her on the cold, hard ground of unfathomable terror. How’s our Gotham Award winner handling her increasingly wicked personal and professional life? Let’s find out.

Congratulations Are In Order

Just when you thought that a signature dismissive husband whose wife is being haunted by something very obviously sinister couldn’t have any redeemable qualities, Dex gives you a pleasant surprise. You’re right, Dex! Anna isn’t making it up.

‘AHS: Delicate’ tells a terrifying tale of doubt and distortions as Anna’s IVF treatment takes several turns for the worse.

“Would I ever do anything to hurt you?”

American Horror Story, as a postmodern horror anthology show, is reflexive and self-aware by design. It’s all about holding a mirror up to not only society, but also the horror staples that audiences have taken for granted. American Horror Story has always had a lot to say on the public versus the private and the compelling dissonance between the two. AHS: Delicate, which is explicitly set in the artificial world of the film and entertainment industry, is especially interested in this territory as an actress struggles to prepare for her biggest role yet–being a mother. “Rockabye,” which successfully evolves the season premiere’s themes, digs even deeper into how identities can blur together as the public erases the private.

A new season of “American Horror Story” is upon us. Believe it or not, “AHS” Season 12 actually marks a couple of firsts for the ongoing franchise – it’s the first to be an adaptation instead of an original story, and it’s the first with a female showrunner as Halley Feiffer wrote every episode of the season herself.

It’s also the season with Kim Kardashian.

Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, “American Horror Story” debuted on FX in 2011 and didn’t reveal itself to be an anthology show until that season finale, in which almost every main character died. Since that time, each new season of “AHS” is treated as an event, as Murphy and Co. have traversed a variety of horror genres.

For those wondering exactly when they can watch “American Horror Story: Delicate,” everything you need to know about Season 12 is below.

When Did “American Horror Story: Delicate” Premiere?...

On September 20, 2023, “American Horror Story: Delicate” premiered on FX, receiving predominantly positive reviews from critics and an 86% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The 12th cycle of the franchise is based on Danielle Valentine‘s “Delicate Condition,” and follows an actress desiring to become pregnant who is convinced that there are forces conspiring against her.

Emma Roberts plays Anna Victoria Alcott and once again takes the lead in this series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. You can also keep an eye out for series regulars Billie Lourd, Denis O’Hare and Leslie Grossman. Newcomers include Matt Czuchry, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Cara Delevingne, Julie White and Maaz Ali — but of course everyone is talking about Kim Kardashian channeling her inner Kris Jenner as Anna’s manager Siobhan Corbyn.

Anthony D’Alessandro of Deadline says, “American Horror...

We don’t question the Murphy-Falchuk universe over here. If Kim Kardashian has to invoke her inner Kris Jenner in order to play the hip publicist in charge of our crestfallen heroine’s all-around well-being, who are we to say no? If Emma Roberts is once again tasked with walking against the grain to play the soft meek damsel in distress, so be it. When you stick around long enough for a show to turn 12, you get the lay of the land. Even though Halley Feiffer now sports the showrunner’s hat and even though the show has ventured out of its comfort zone to base Delicate on a novel, the premiere of American Horror Story season 12 has us reaching for something to cling as we volunteer to be creeped out. Did we need a modern take on Rosemary’s Baby? You’d get mixed answers to that. But there must...

As FX’s American Horror Story enters its 12th season, three things set apart its latest baby, Delicate, from its big siblings. One is the fact that it’s the first story based on a novel — Danielle Valentine’s Delicate Condition, a Rosemary’s Baby riff about an actress, Anna (Emma Roberts), trying to conceive via IVF. Another is that it’s the first season not to have co-creator Ryan Murphy as showrunner; instead, AHS newbie Halley Feiffer (American Crime Story: Impeachment) is fulfilling that role.

In combination, they signal a potential for American Horror Story to head in a cleaner and clearer direction, away from its long-standing reputation for sloppy plotting — but not too far from its gift for building buzz, since the third standout element is the headline-worthy stunt casting of Kim Kardashian as Anna’s Bff and publicist Siobhan. But whether it has the ability to...

[This story contains spoilers from the premiere of AHS: Delicate.]

Little was known about how American Horror Story would twist Danielle Valentine’s novel to fit the mold of the veteran FX anthology until it made its debut. Now, season 12 of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s hit horror series has released its first episode (and will now roll out weekly) and has revealed to its devoted audience the plot of the fertility body-horror season, along with the role Kim Kardashian will be playing alongside returning AHS star Emma Roberts.

AHS: Delicate is the first-ever season in the franchise to be adapted from a book, Valentine’s Delicate Condition. It’s also the first to have a sole showrunner with playwright Halley Feiffer. The creative team, per usual and amid the ongoing dual Hollywood strikes, shared very little about the season ahead of time, except to say that the story is inspired by the novel which has been called a...

Get ready to push, puush, puuush because FX’s “American Horror Story” is giving birth to its 12th installment, subtitled “Delicate.” As usual, the cast of “AHS” Season 12 features a mix of new actors and franchise vets. The story is set in the present day and is based on Danielle Valentine’s thriller novel “Delicate Condition,” about an up-and-coming actress who believes an evil force is trying to hinder her pregnancy.

Because of Hollywood’s ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes, “Delicate” will be divided into two parts, a first for the long-running horror anthology series. Part 1 debuted on September 20, 2023, and Part 2 will air at a later date. Halley Feiffer has taken over as the sole writer and new showrunner, while the various directors include Jessica Yu, Jennifer Lynch and John J. Gray. Just like last year, this cycle filmed entirely in New York City. Scroll through our photos below to...

Spoiler Alert: The following contains details of the American Horror Story Season 12 premiere episode “Multiply Thy Pain,” directed by Jessica Yu and written by Halley Feiffer.

American Horror Story turns 12 this year and you’d never know it; it’s like the series from Ryan Murph and Brad Falchuk has never had any work done in the Nip/Tuck sense of the word. It’s as young and vibrant as it was back in 2011.

Just when you think the series is showing crow’s feet and has gone to loopy ends, i.e., clever-wielding pilgrims, Murphy and Falchuk glam it up with a curveball headlining star and a millennial take on Rosemary’s Baby. Yep, no guessing which horror film this season is based on. This season looks as posh, as cool, and as sexy as a Prada dress on Madison Ave and you wanna hang out with these New Yorkers despite how creepy and inappropriate they are.

However, instead of satanic neighbors hanging around Mia Farrow’s apartment building like in the 1968 Roman Polanski movie, we get cryptic high-class folk hanging around in public places in Manhattan.

Emma Roberts plays famed actress Anna Victoria Alcott, a Michelle Williams-type who has gone from being on a CW show to an indie movie that has morphed her into an Oscar-worthy actress. She’s trying to have a baby with her icy hubby, Dex Harding (played by Matt Czuchry). Note how she wears a pink winter cap (symbolism: girl!) and a baby blue wool coat (boy!). He may or may not still have something for the girl who literally got away in his life — his first wife Adeline, a James Beard-winning chef who died in a kitchen fire. “The way that she died, no one gets over that,” says Dex. Later on, an old friend of Dex and Adeline’s, Talia (Juliana Canfield), feels the latter’s spirit. That’s enough to make Anna run to the ladies’ room.

Anna is undergoing an embryo treatment from Dr. Hill (Dennis O’Hare), the best doctor in the city, who has a surgical staff clad in red like they’re fresh from David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers. Outside of that bizarro, there’s a lot of other crazy stuff happening to Anna as her career is on the ascent (she just booked her first late-night gig on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen): for example, there’s a black-cloaked, feminine-looking figure who’s in bed with her. When Anna wakes, the figure flees the apartment. Also, Anna is left with blood on the carpet, as though she’s just had the baby.

There’s a smoking goth lady in red boots and gloves who follows Anna around in the city; near the onset of the episode, we find her looking into a nest outside Anna’s building that has an embryo in it. No big deal, per Dex. “Maybe she’s just trying to have a baby,” he tells Anna when freaky lady is outside Dr. Hill’s office building. Anna is, natch, wiser: “I don’t think she’d be smoking if she was trying to get pregnant.” Dummy!

And there’s old Mrs. Preecher, who also freaks out Anna in public. That’s a normal run-in, but old Mrs. Preecher winds up as one of the red-clad nurses toward the end when Anna is finishing up her embryo treatment. The elder reveals a long tongue and decides to kiss Anna.

Let’s not forget Sonia Shawcross (Annabelle Dexter-Jones), the artist who likes to come up from behind at her own gallery showings, specifically behind Anna. Sonia is oh, so humdrum: “I used my own menstrual blood in this one,” she says about her latest piece of art on the wall. ‘Does she look like Adeline?’ wonders Anna. “No, not at all,” says Dex.

There’s also other spooky stuff like Anna pulling endless strands of hair out of her head, a spider falling onto her head, and a Barbie reappearing in rando places around her. Despite all the gloom, Dr. Hill is optimistic about Anna’s chances to have a baby.

The only normal person in Anna’s life seems to be her publicist and confidante Siobhan, played by Kim Kardashian. How’s Kim’s acting? She plays a dead-on Type A entertainment industry type who boosts her self-doubting client, telling her that her life and career are great. You feel like Kim is channeling her mom-ager Kris Jenner in a homage. She’s perfect for the part — everyone calm down, it’s not like Kim is playing Portia in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. Siobhan has also battled with fertility issues, having met Anna in an IVF support group, but she’s not envious of Anna’s progress, saying, “Your joy is my joy.”

But gosh, Anna, what’s wrong with you? Why so freaked out?

As Siobhan tells her client, “You have a peculiar penchant for turning dreams into nightmares.”

Or maybe, per Siobhan’s advice, Anna just “needs a nap.”

Then again, perhaps it’s Anna who isn’t the freak in this freak show. The season has been billed to be a feminist take on Rosemary’s Baby. We’ll wait and see if Mama Anna lets it rip.

Mia in episode one are this season’s players Evan Peters, Cara Delevinge and Michaela Jae Rodriguez.

The season is based on Danielle Valentine’s thriller novel Delicate Condition, which follows a woman who is convinced that a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens. We get that gist when the cloaked figure appears at the end of the episode (or is it really the beginning? The entire episode takes place “a week earlier”), having written the cryptic message on Anna’s mirror in lipstick: “Don’t Do It Anna.”

Our advice this season when it comes to the 12th go-round of American Horror Story: “Do do it.”...

Since Season 1, “American Horror Story” has developed a reputation for making viewers say “What did I just watch?” And “Delicate,” the 12th season in FX’s horror anthology series, delivered on that promise for the start.

Not only is “Delicate” the first season not to be showrun by Ryan Murphy; it’s also the first season to be based off a book. Adapted from Danielle Valentine’s recent novel “Delicate Condition” and showrun by playwright Halley Feiffer (“I’m Gonna Pray for You So Hard”), Season 12 follows Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts), an up-and-coming movie star who wants nothing more than to be a mother. But the further she goes down the path of motherhood, the more she suspects everyone around her is conspiring against her and her future child.

In addition to Roberts, this season stars “AHS” newcomers Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevingne in starring roles. Additionally, the season stars Matt Czuchry,...

Wednesday evening, we got our first hints as to whether American Horror Story was going to succeed with its mad experiment. As you’ve no doubt read, this season, the series’ 12th, is the first that isn’t born of an original idea but adapted from a book, Danielle Valentine’s Delicate Condition (which has been described as “the feminist update to Rosemary’s Baby”). Delicate also marks the first time that Ryan Murphy has handed over the showrunner’s reins (to Impeachment: American Crime Story vet Halley Feiffer). So, did the gambles pay off? Pregnant-pause for long enough to...

Get ready to push, puush, puuush because FX’s “American Horror Story” is giving birth to its 12th installment, subtitled “Delicate.” As usual, the cast of “AHS” Season 12 features a mix of new actors and franchise vets. The story is set in the present day and is based on Danielle Valentine‘s thriller novel “Delicate Condition,” about an up-and-coming actress who believes an evil force is trying to hinder her pregnancy.

Because of Hollywood’s ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes, “Delicate” will be divided into two parts, a first for the long-running horror anthology series. Part 1 will debut on September 20, 2023, and Part 2 will air at a later date. Halley Feiffer has taken over as the sole writer and new showrunner, while the various directors include Jessica Yu, Jennifer Lynch and John J. Gray. Just like last year, this cycle filmed entirely in New York City. Scroll through our photos above...

Kim Kardashian is embracing developing her acting chops in the newest season of Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story.”

“Anytime you try something, you just have to have the intention of growing and challenging yourself,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star said in a behind-the-scenes teaser for the upcoming FX series’ latest season, subtitled “Delicate.” “Then you just kinda release and have fun.”

“American Horror Story: Delicate,” which premieres Wednesday, centers on actress Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts) who struggles with multiple failed attempts of IVF to achieve her dream of starting a family. “As the buzz around her recent film grows, she fears that something may be targeting her — and her pursuit of motherhood,” according to the official logline.

Kardashian takes on the role of Siobhan Walsh, who, in another trailer, appears to guide Anna on a path to professional success as Siobhan asks Anna which is more...

With the debut of Ryan Murphy’s latest star-studded season of American Horror Story less than 24 hours away, FX released a featurette focused on Kim Kardashian’s character, Siobhan Walsh.

“What’s your biggest fear?” Kardashian’s character says at the top of the video. The reality TV star then goes on to reveal that one of hers is spiders which, it turns out, play a prominent role in the show’s Season 12, subtitled Delicate. Watch the featurette below.

As for Kardashian’s acting chops Zachary Quinto, who has a cameo in the series this season, had only praise for her.

“I did a cameo on this season of American Horror Story and I got to meet her,” Quinto told People during an interview at the Tribeca Film Festival. “She was so lovely and warm.”

Quinto praised Kardashian saying “she seemed really in her element” adding, “I was really impressed...

After weeks of teasing the upcoming 12th season of American Horror Story, FX has finally released a full trailer for AHS: Delicate. The trailer provides our first good look at the relationship between Kim Kardashian and Emma Roberts’ characters, and confirms much of the storyline has to do with Roberts’ character’s desire to get pregnant.

Joining Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian for season 12 are Cara Delevingne, Matt Czuchry, Billie Lourd, Denis O’Hare, Leslie Grossman, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. Halley Feiffer serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Series creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, Alexis Martin Woodall, Scott Robertson, and John J. Gray also executive produce.

AHS: Delicate will be split into two parts, with part one debuting on September 20, 2023. Part one’s five episodes will air on Wednesdays at 10pm, and part two is expected to premiere in 2024.

Unlike previous seasons,...

American Horror Story: Delicate is the twelfth season of the horror anthology series and differs from previous seasons by being based on the novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine. The novel follows Anna, an actress undergoing a difficult IVF journey who suspects a sinister presence is preventing her from getting pregnant. Delicate Condition is a personal story for the author, who wrote it as a way to process her own experiences with miscarriage and explore emotions like anger, confusion, and guilt that are often overlooked in discussions about pregnancy loss.

FX has dropped the first full trailer for its upcoming American Horror Story: Delicate. In comparison to the stylish teasers FX has been dropping for the anticipated twelfth installment of the horror anthology series, the trailer provides a more in-depth look at what can be expected. While you won't see enormous spiders and vinyl-clad women swaying to eerie music, the...

The long-overdue Season 12 of FX's horror anthology sensation American Horror Story: Delicate has finally received its official trailer for Part One after months of anticipation.

FX has dropped a new trailer for American Horror Story: Delicate Part One on YouTube today. The network's longest-running hour-long series will be returning grander than ever before -- securing Kim Kardashian as part of the main cast, the show will also star Emma Roberts, Cara Delevingne, Matt Czuchry, Billie Lourd, Denis O'Hare, Leslie Grossman, Zachary Quinto, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez. Although, Kardashian's big name seems like the safest bet for American Horror Story: Delicate to score the enormous viewership numbers that FX is hoping for.

The network has previously announced that American Horror Story Season 12 will be split into two parts. While the first one premieres this September, the release date...

Kim Kardashian and the rest of the "American Horror Story" season 12 cast are ready to rock some cradles later this month. FX unveiled the mysterious first look at the upcoming installment on July 20, per a trailer that features shots of Kardashian sporting a blond wig and ghostly makeup as she holds a baby. Series stars Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne are also seen in the season preview - set to an ominous rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby."

On Aug. 15, fans finally got a more thorough update about "American Horror Story" season 12 when FX dropped cast posters that also revealed another big hint - the new season will be split into two parts. And on Sept. 6, the official first trailer arrived, showing Roberts's terrifying pregnancy journey, à la "Rosemary's Baby." Previously, it was announced that a lot of new faces joined season 12, including "Pose" alum Michaela Jaé Rodriguez - but that's not all.

The first trailer for “American Horror Story: Delicate” has arrived, and Kim Kardashian is demanding to know which is more important: an Oscar or a baby?

“Do you want an Oscar? Do you want it as much as a baby?” Kardashian’s Siobhan Walsh asks Emma Roberts’ Anna Victoria Alcott.

Though “American Horror Story” Season 12 has already released several unsettling and stylized teasers, this clip is the first look into what this new season is about. Based on Danielle Valentine’s book “Delicate Condition” and showrun by playwright Halley Feiffer (“I’m Gonna Pray for You So Hard”), fans already knew this season would center around a Hollywood star who’s desperate to have a child. But as she gets further and further down the path of motherhood, she starts to believe several people are trying to stop her from having this baby, including her own husband.

In this first trailer,...

Up until now, FX has been promoting season 12 of the anthology series American Horror Story, which is also known as American Horror Story: Delicate, with trippy teasers that don’t actually reflect the look or content of the season. But now they have released a full trailer that does give a look at the characters and an idea of what the story is about. You can check it out in the embed above.

Due to the ongoing writers and actors strikes, American Horror Story: Delicate is being split into two batches of episodes. The first batch of episodes is set to begin airing on September 20th. Episodes will be available to watch on the Hulu streaming service the day after they air on FX.

American Horror Story is an anthology series where each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a different set of characters and settings in the same fictional universe,...

American Horror Story looks to be returning to its roots in the official trailer for American Horror Story Season 12, subtitled "Delicate."

In addition to teasing the story, we also have confirmation about who's in the cast.

Aside from Emma Roberts, Kim Kardashian, and Cara Delevigne, FX has kept us in the dark about the rest of the cast.

In conjunction with the trailer reveal, the cabler confirmed that Matt Czuchry, Billie Lourd, Denis O'Hare, Leslie Grossman, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez were also a part of the cast.

Czuchry's involvement was heavily rumored earlier this year when it was revealed The Resident had been canceled.

The other names are exciting because the series really does manage to pick the best cast.

We'll admit: We were skeptical when Kardashian was announced to be on the cast because this was her first serious role.

The good news? She fits into the AHS-verse like...
