Kim Kardashian will be in American Horror Story. This was announced by Ryan Murphy, the all-powerful director, producer, screenwriter and creator of television, to The Hollywood Reporter, justifying that “Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world” and that they are “delighted to welcome her to the family of American Horror Storyâ€, a series broadcast by Disney.
When he talks about “the AHS family” he is also referring to the actress Emma Roberts, star of the next season of the horror series, which will be the twelfth, who is as excited as he is to “collaborate with this true force of culture â€.
And what can you anticipate about the character that the celebutante turned reality star, successful businesswoman and trendsetter will play? That the screenwriter Halley Feiffer has written a “funny, stylish and finally terrifying” character especially dedicated to her in a season that will be inspired by the novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine. The argument? A woman is convinced that there is a sinister presence preventing her from having a viable pregnancy.
It seems that this collaboration has been forging in Murphy’s mind since he saw Kardashian as the presenter of Saturday Night Live, the mythical comedy show in the United States that is broadcast live. The influencer, who showed in her reality show The Kardashians how she prepared her bolus with an expert in the field like comedian Amy Schumer, was willing to laugh at herself and her family in the sketches made for she. Here’s an example:
And, after discussions in the summer of 2022 to see if Kardashian would be willing to accept a serious role as an actress, a character was conceived specifically for her. For the record, it will not be his first role on television: he has had cameos or secondary roles in How I Met Your Mother, CSI: New York, 30 Rock, Divina de la muerte, Two penniless girls or even the movie Ocean’s 8 with Sandra Bullock , Cate Blanchett, Rihanna and Anne Hathaway. In 2021 she also did a vocal performance in the original version of Paw Patrol.
It will not be the first time that Ryan Murphy has opted to bring a star outside of acting to the forefront of his fiction. He was the one who convinced Lady Gaga to test her acting skills in American Horror Story: Hotel, curiously facing not particularly good reviews, especially in comparison to her subsequent work in House of Gucci and A Star Is Born, for which who was even nominated for an Oscar for best actress.
In fact, Murphy even broke into the reality world in 2012 on The Real Housewives of Atlanta after turning Nene Leakes, one of the show’s cast members, into a solid TV actress, first as a recurring actress on Glee and later with a Fixed secondary character in The New Normal, a comedy bet created by him.
