Kim Kardashian is “shockingly great” in ‘American Horror Story’, fans say

Kim Kardashian has mostly received praise following her debut in American Horror Story: Delicate.

In the horror anthology show’s twelfth season, the reality star plays Siobhan Corbyn, who is the publicist and best friend of actress Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts).

This season is the first without series co-creator Ryan Murphy as showrunner, with Halley Feiffer taking over. It’s based on author Danielle Valentine’s book Delicate Condition, which follows a woman who is convinced a sinister figure is trying to stop her from becoming pregnant.

In a behind-the-scenes teaser for the season, Kardashian described taking on the role as an opportunity to “grow” and challenge herself.

“This show is so different and scary,” she said in the clip. “Anytime you try something, you just have to have the intention of growing and challenging yourself, and then you just kinda release and have fun.”

Aside from starring in reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, her past acting credits include 2008’s Disaster Movie, Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor and 2021’s PAW Patrol: The Movie.

American Horror Story: Delicate airs weekly on Wednesdays in the US on FX. A UK release date has yet to be announced.
