The new teaser for American Horror Story: Delicate gives a sneak peek at upcoming episodes, which begin Wednesday, September 20 on FX.
The teaser shows Roberts (Scream Queens) in a terrifying situation as her character, Anna Alcott, is experimented on and pursued. Images of Cara Delevingne (Carnival Row) and Kardashian can also be seen on a ghostly rendition of the song Rock-A-Bye-Baby.
American Horror Story: Delicate follows Roberts as Anna Alcott, desperately trying to balance her career as an independent actor and undergoing IVF to conceive. She slowly becomes convinced that someone, or something, is working against her.
The teaser offers a stylized glimpse of what that could look like, while the book takes the horror even further. For example, the synopsis reports that Alcott "can feel the baby moving inside her, see the pressure it's putting on her weakening body."
The American Horror Story season twelve cast also includes Matt Czuchry, best known for his roles on Gilmore Girls, The Good Wife, and The Resident. Other actors include American Horror Story newcomers such as Annabelle Dexter-Jones (The Calling), Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Pose), Odessa A'zion (Nashville), Julie White (Designated Survivor) and Debra Monk (New Amsterdam (2018)). Former American Horror Story actors Zachary Quinto and Billie Lourd will also appear in American Horror Story: Delicate.
American Horror Story: Delicate has been split into parts: the first episodes will be released on Wednesday, September 20, and the second half has not yet been announced. The new additions to the cast could add an extra element of intrigue to an aging franchise, and the adaptation could provide a bit of structure to a bizarre series that sometimes goes off the rails as the episodes progress.
