The American Horror Story franchise is back with its 12th season, titled American Horror Story: Delicate, premiering on September 20. Inspired by Danielle Valentine’s book Delicate Condition, the new season delves into the complex themes of motherhood, weaving together physical challenges and sinister plots. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the show follows the story of Anna Alcott, an A-list actress struggling with infertility and multiple IVF attempts, portrayed by Emma Roberts. After a series of disturbing events, Anna discovers she has miscarried, but still experiences pregnancy-like symptoms, leading her to believe that some supernatural force is trying to sabotage her. Her inner circle dismisses her claims, thinking she is delusional from her medication.

Roberts, a familiar face in the AHS universe, previously portrayed Madison Montgomery in American Horror Story: Coven. With her return to the franchise, she brings her iconic wit and sassiness, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. Sharing the spotlight with Roberts are a star-studded ensemble, including Kim Kardashian as Anna’s best friend and confidante, Siobhan Walsh, and Cara Delevingne as Meg, a medic with a sinister twist. Matt Czuchry, known for his roles in Gilmore Girls and The Good Wife, takes on the role of Anna’s husband, Dexter Harding, who suggests that Anna’s fertility struggles are just a product of her anxious mind.

Meanwhile, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, who made history by becoming the first transgender woman to win a Primetime Emmy Award for her work on Pose, plays Talia Donovan in the new season. The ensemble cast also includes Julie White as Io Preecher, a suspicious figure lurking around Anna’s pregnancy issues, and Denis O’Hare, who has appeared in multiple AHS seasons, in an undisclosed role. Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, and Zachary Quinto also make appearances in Season 12, adding to the show’s eclectic mix of characters.

As American Horror Story: Delicate premieres, audiences can expect a thrilling blend of psychological suspense, supernatural terror, and emotional depth, all set against the backdrop of the complex and often fraught world of motherhood. With its intricate web of characters and storylines, the show promises to deliver a charming and unsettling viewing experience. The complex themes of motherhood and the supernatural forces at play will undoubtedly leave viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next twist and turn in the story.
