American Horror Story: Delicate drops official trailer starring Kim Kardashian and show fans are divided over her acting
AMERICAN Horror Story has released the official trailer for its newest season.
The show’s next installment, titled American Horror Story: Delicate, stars Kim Kardashian, 42, Cara Delevingne, 31, and Emma Roberts, 32.
The 12th season of the FX horror series premieres on September 20.
The trailer, released by the network, shows Emma’s character talking to her partner about having a baby amid her rising career as an actress.
Things start to take a dark turn, however, after she gets pregnant.
The trailer also shows Kim’s character giving her friend some advice, while Cara is seen administering a suspicious ultrasound examination.
AHS: Delicate will also feature Billie Lourd, Matt Czuchry, Denis O’Hare, and Leslie Grossman.
TRAILER THOUGHTS
Fans have been commenting on the new trailer with their differing opinions on this season’s new and returning cast members.
“Bad enough having Kim anywhere near it, but having Emma as the lead? lol,” one person wrote in the comments section of the YouTube trailer.
A second said: “Kim looks amazing and I think she’s going to be soo good Kim can act this looks soo good.”
“Producer was brilliant to cast these 2, even if the acting is not incredible,” a third chimed in.
A NEW KIM K
The new season marks the Hulu star’s acting debut, after her previous appearance on Saturday Night Live caught the attention of AHS writer Ryan Murphy.
Kim was seen in a recently released promotional photo for AHS: Delicate, where she looked unrecognizable with white hair, no eyebrows, and spider-like eyelashes.
However, fans have been bashing the Skims founder’s switch from reality into drama since her role was announced earlier this year.
On April 10, Ryan first took to Instagram to share a promo video ahead of the show’s return.
Names of the cast popped up on the screen, where fans first saw Kim’s full name and criticized the casting choice.
“Uhhh… yikes,” one person wrote, while a second ripped: “Why! Why ruin a good thing Ryan??!! A Kardashian…I hope it’s a small part…”
A second complained: “Congrats, new way to ruin this show…”
Despite the backlash, Ryan has defended his decision to cast the 42-year-old reality star.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family.
“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.”
