American Horror Story Season 12: The anthology horror television series is returning for another season. Here’s everything you need to know!
American Horror Story is the anthology horror television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk for the cable network FX. The series has held viewers’ attention for over ten years with its distinct fusion of chills, twisted stories, and enduring characters.
First premiered in 2011, the crazy horror anthology series frequently runs the danger of ridicule by fusing violent supernatural terror with campy melodrama. So, the fact that this highly regarded franchise’s fans’ favorite show would be available to stream on FX in 2023–24 increased anticipation for the show’s return.
Therefore, ever since the renewal was announced, fans have been clamoring for even the smallest bit of information regarding the show. Such as when it will premiere, what it will be about, and so on. If you are one of them, you have come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about American Horror Story Season 12.
American Horror Story Season 12 Release Date
The next season is coming sooner than you expect. The upcoming season was first confirmed in January 2020, when FX renewed the Ryan Murphy series for three additional seasons.
“Ryan and Brad are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX’s highest-rated series,” FX chairman John Landgraf said in a statement. “We are grateful to them and Dana Walden and our studio partners for committing to another three years.”
The new season will premiere on September 20, 2023. According to Deadline, the upcoming season will be aired in two parts, with part 1 consisting of five episodes.
While Season 11 aired two episodes back-to-back weekly, we will be getting a new episode every week. Here’s the release schedule and titles for the first few episodes:
- Episode 1: Multiply Thy Pain on Sep 20
- Episode 2: Rockabye on Sep 27
- Episode 3: Rockabye on Sep 27
What will be the story of American Horror Story Season 12?
When it comes to narrative, American Horror Story has never shied away from breaking new ground. The series has repeatedly exceeded viewers’ expectations with its nonlinear tales and interconnected universe. And the same is expected from season 12.
The new season titled American Horror Story: Delicate starring Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian is based on Danielle Valentine’s novel Delicate Condition. The story follows a woman convinced a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happens―while the men in her life refuse to believe a word she says.
Also, the upcoming season’s plot has been described as a “feminist update to Rosemary’s Baby,” which sets the bar high given how groundbreaking that 1968 film was for horror cinema. Moreover, this will be the first American Horror Story season based on specific published content.
American Horror Story Season 12 Cast
Matt Czuchry was one of the initial cast members to be announced for AHS season 12. The Hollywood Reporter highlighted his entry into the franchise, which came shortly after the cancellation of his FX series, The Resident, in April 2023.
Later that month, Murphy confirmed Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian’s roles on the show with a cryptic teaser on Instagram.
“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” said Murphy in a statement to THR. “Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done.”
In April 2023, Cara Delevingne joined the cast, as per Deadline. The trailer, which debuted on September 6, 2013, additionally verified the participation of Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Billie Lourd, Leslie Grossman, and Denis O’Hare in the upcoming season.
So, series regulars Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Denis O’Hare, and Leslie Grossman and newcomers Kim Kardashian, Cara Delevingne, Matt Czuchry, and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez star in the season, with Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Odessa A’zion, Julie White, Debra Monk, Dominic Burgess, and Zachary Quinto appearing in recurring roles.
