American Horror Story, the long-running horror anthology series, gears up for its twelfth season with the release of the trailer for its second installment, Delicate. Part 2, starring Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian, is set to premiere on FX on April 3, followed by streaming on Hulu the next day.
The upcoming episodes promise a descent into darker depths for Emma Roberts’ character, Anna Victoria Alcott, as she grapples with consuming bones and confronting the unsettling reality of extra spider babies. Based on Danielle Valentine’s 2023 novel Delicate Condition, Anna becomes unwittingly entangled in the sinister plans of a Satanic cult, particularly concerning her unborn child.
The trailer offers glimpses of Anna and Siobhan Corbyn (portrayed by Kim Kardashian) sharing intimate moments, as well as tension-filled scenes where Siobhan’s true nature is revealed. Anna confronts her publicist, accusing her of being a “monster,” to which Siobhan cryptically responds, “I’m so much worse.”
Due to the Hollywood strikes of 2023, American Horror Story: Delicate was split into two parts. The final four episodes of the season will air weekly starting from April 3, following the conclusion of the initial five episodes in October 2023.
Throughout the season, Anna struggles to navigate her aspirations for both motherhood and Hollywood stardom. The teaser hints at Anna’s willingness to sacrifice anything for fame, setting the stage for a chilling narrative arc.
The ensemble cast of American Horror Story: Delicate includes Cara Delevingne, Matt Czuchry, Billie Lourd, Denis O’Hare, Leslie Grossman, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez.
In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, author Danielle Valentine described her novel as a horror story centered around pregnancy, tackling taboo topics such as pregnancy symptoms, medical gaslighting, and the visceral nature of pregnancy itself.
