Kim Kardashian to take over ‘terrifying role’ alongside Emma Roberts in a new season of American Horror Story

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is set to star in the new season of American Horror Story (AHS). Kim, 42, will be starring in a “terrifying role” in the American anthology horror series alongside AHS star Emma Roberts.

Teasers have appeared all over social media revealing that the Skims entrepreneur will be dusting off her acting skills for the show's twelfth season to become the latest celebrity to appear in the FX series.

Co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy said: "Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family. Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim.”

This will not be the megastars first time trying her hand at acting, as Kim most recently appeared on American sketch show Saturday Night Live.

She’s also appeared in TV shows and films such as How I met Your Mother, Paw Patrol: The Movie and Disaster Movie.

While details are currently being kept under wraps, the teaser clip features the message, "Emma Roberts and Kim Kardashian are delicate," and is set to a broken version of "Rock-a-Bye Baby."

Other actors to have starred in the show previously include Lady Gaga, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters and Cathy Bates.

There has definitely been a mixed reaction from Kardashian fans and AHS viewers, but overall, people are mostly curious to see what Kim’s role will entail.

One Kim fan tweeted: “I love it!!! Yessss!! Cant wait!!! Best idea yet AHS!!!”

Twitter user @theronfilm said: “kim kardashian to star in ahs” is a sentence i never thought i’d live to hear.”

However @kayleymillxr said: “kim kardashian is in the new ahs. could either be an absolute serve or the worst flop since disaster movie.”

@lexaprobaby tweeted: “kim kardashian is probably gonna be like killed off in the beginning of ahs just like they did with drew barrymore in scream.”

@userijustmether said: “Good for @KimKardashian y’all hating ass people like why and how does it effect anyone that she is gonna be on #ahs let this mf live her life. The truth is this is gonna bring in even more viewers just like Gaga which means higher chance of renewal if you love it get over it.”

Filming is due to begin in New York later this month.
