FX has released the first teaser for the 12th season of their popular ‘American Horror Story’ franchise, dubbed American Horror Story: Delicate . The teaser trailer features a first look at Kim Kardashian, who stars in the latest season of the horror anthology series, coming soon to FX and Hulu.

Kardashian — who dons icy blonde hair and jet-black gloves — appears alongside “AHS” co-stars Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne in the clip, which features a group of blonde lookalikes dancing to a techno rendition of “Rock-a-bye Baby” as images of embryo fertilization and baby carriages flicker across the screen. The teaser concludes with Kardashian’s character holding an infant.

Kardashian and Roberts teased their “AHS” roles in April with a clip of their names and the season’s “Delicate” title. The season takes inspiration from the upcoming Danielle Valentine novel “Delicate Condition,” which follows the horrifying pregnancy journey of an indie actress. series creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy previously said that Halley Feiffer, who serves as showrunner of Season 12, wrote the role specifically for Kardashian. Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter in April: “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family. (Showrunner) 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.”

TMZ broke the news that Grande and Slater, who is also reportedly separated from his wife, singer Lilly Jay, started dating several months ago after meeting on the set of the film. A photo of the ‘Wicked’ cast from March celebrating Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar win in London showed Grande sitting close to Slater with his arm wrapped around her. TMZ said that Slater and Grande got together after he already had separated from Jay, who married in 2018 and welcomed a son together last year. Grande reportedly separated from Gomez in January, after two years of marriage.

The 31-year-old Slater, who plays Boq in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, rose to fame starring in “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical.” The actor was nominated for a Tony Award for his role.

‘Wicked’ composer Stephen Schwartz said that filming has been paused due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, with about 10 days of work to go. Director Jon M. Chu said the disruption shouldn’t affect the film’s November 2024 release date.
