FX revealed on social media that the twelfth season of American Horror Story is set to premiere on September 20. The upcoming run will be released in two parts, though the number of episodes in each segment hasn’t been disclosed. In the previous season, audiences saw two episodes released each week. The series will stream on Hulu.
Writers for the new season indicate that the storyline draws partially from Danielle Valentine’s mystical novel Tender State. The central figure in that tale believes a sinister presence is blocking her ability to become pregnant. The writers have also cited Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby as a major source of inspiration for the season.
In a new episode preview, Kim Kardashian joins the ensemble cast. A July teaser shows the star with silver hair and bold makeup, holding a baby in her arms, hinting at a provocative new role.
The trailer features a group of women dancing in scenes that evoke a spiritual gathering. The cast also includes Cara Delevingne and Emma Roberts, who have been associated with the series in previous seasons, adding familiar faces to the evolving narrative.
The project is moving forward with notable anticipation as fans await how the adaptation elements and courtroom of mystery will unfold in this season of the long-running anthology series.
