American Horror Story: Delicate (FX) - Season 12 Thread - premieres 9/20/23
FX and Hulu have confirmed the title of season 12, American Horror Story: Delicate, revealing our first official look at its stars Emma Roberts, Cara Delevingne, and Kim Kardashian. Paparazzi have capture snapshots of some of the actors on set while the show has filmed in New York City, but now we're catching a glimpse of the reality TV megastar in a blonde wig and black dress, holding a baby.
The rest of the teaser feels very much like Rosemary's Baby, with faceless figures moving as one in a circle amid ominous images of a cradle and carriage.
American Horror Story: Delicate is the first season of the anthology series to adapt a book, Delicate Condition by author Danielle Valentine. The novel follows an actress named Anna Alcott, who is convinced someone is trying to prevent her from conceiving a child. After failed rounds of IVF treatments, she thinks she's finally pregnant, only to suffer a miscarriage... at least, that's what her doctor tells her. Nobody will believe her, but she feels the baby still moving inside her.
Halley Feiffer adapted the novel for AHS: Delicate. "Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world, and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family," showrunner Ryan Murphy previously told The Hollywood Reporter. "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."
Also featured in the cast are Pose Golden Globe winner Michaela Jaé Rodriguez and AHS veteran Zachary Quinto.

So part one will just be the episodes they were able to film before the strike? Then we gotta wait for them to finish shooting part two?

As usual, if you record this on DVR, you'll have to set up a completely new recording as each season gets a different name in the guide.
Since this isn't going to be the complete season, until they finish shooting after the SAG strike ends, I'm not sure if I'll watch it now or just wait until the 2nd part of the season starts airing. Last season, I just waited until the season was long over and watched all episodes over 5 days or so. It was probably better that way. Unfortunately, this has gone from a "must watch the night it airs" to "watch when I get around to it."

Wow, this thread is dead, lol. I actually don't find Kim Kardashian to be that bad in this. I feel like this show is getting back to the "Horror" in AHS, unlike last season which was just grief porn.

This season might be even worse than Roanoke. It's so fucking boring.
At least KK is great eye candy. That's about the only good thing I can say

I went into this season fully expecting to hate KK, but she was not bad at all; I could see her making a small career as a snippy best friend.That being said, I thought the season was repetitive and lacked momentum; maybe it was due to the strike.

The whole season feels like what would have been a forgettable episode of American Horror Stories stretched out nine hours.

Finished this up tonight. Overall it could have been much shorter, but I did like a lot of the "WTF?" scenes this season. The "happy" ending felt a bit tacked on, like maybe having Emma Roberts stuck in hell for eternity didn't test well with audiences.

This whole series has really flamed out.
Ryan Murphy needs to pass the reins to someone else with a new vision of 'horror'. Every season seems like the same story and using the same crew of actors doesnt help making it feel boring and repetitive.
There is a lot more horror to explore than the same witchcraft/demon possession/serial killer stuff that has been beat into the ground here.
I'm looking forward to the new X-files reboot (if it ever happens) just so we can see something new in this regard!
