With 2022's American Horror Story: NYC, co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk continued to expand their ever-growing stable of new and returning cast members, bringing Looking's Russell Tovey and The Watcher's Joe Mantello into the fold. With Season 12, though, the AHS creative team may have pulled in the most jaw-dropping cast member since Lady Gaga, as reality star and mega-bazillionaire entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is offically co-leading Season 12 alongside a familiar face, but with an unfamiliar theme.
We're nine whole days beyond April Fool's Day, so this can't possible be a prank of the holiday variety, although I wouldn't be overtly shocked to learn that this was all part of Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart's new prank show. But no, American Horror Story fans will legitimately get to see Kim Kardashian sharing the screen with none other than Emma Roberts, who has previously popped up in Coven, Freak Show, Cult, Apocalypse, and 1984, not to mention both seasons of Murphy's Fox comedy-thriller Scream Queens.
