American Horror Story Season 12 cast & characters
With episodes airing weekly, the full involvement of the American Horror Story Season 12 cast is yet to be revealed.
While fans wait in suspense, find a full rundown of the characters in Delicate below.
Anna Alcott: Emma Roberts
As the leading lady of Season 12, all eyes are on Emma Roberts as she takes up the role of Anna Alcott.
An A-list actress who’s on the rise and making a name for herself, Alcott is turning her attention to balancing her newfound fame and a private family life. On a challenging IVF journey at the same time, Alcott begins to feel as though someone is purposefully stopping her from getting pregnant, though her closest friends all dismiss her claims.
Roberts is a key figure in the American Horror Story franchise, having already appeared in Coven, Freak Show, Apocalypse, and 1984. She’s also appeared in creator Ryan Murphy’s other horror hit, Scream Queens.
Siobhan Corbyn: Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is probably the most surprising casting pick of the bunch, making her acting debut in the Season 12 cast of American Horror Story.
She takes on the role of Siobhan, Alcott’s best friend, confidante, and mentor. Always staying composed and collected, she’s the natural opposite of the always-anxious Alcott. In line with the show’s style, Siobhan’s introduction could suggest that she’s already harboring some darker secrets of her own.
Kardashian is best known for reality appearances on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Kardashians. She’s also due to have a voice-over role for the Paw Patrol movie in the next few months.
Ivy: Cara Delevingne
Model-turned-actor Cara Delevingne is one of the new additions to the franchise, having previously starred in Paper Towns, Suicide Squad, and Only Murders in the Building.
In the American Horror Story Season 12 cast, Delevingne is playing the role of Ivy, who has so far cut a shadowy yet mysterious figure wherever Alcott goes. When she tries to perform treatment in the second episode, it’s revealed by the hospital that Ivy doesn’t work there.
Dexter HardingJr. : Matt Czuchry
You might recognize new American Horror Story star Matt Czuchry from The Good Wife or his role as Rory’s boyfriend Logan in Gilmore Girls.
In Season 12 he’s playing the role of Alcott’s husband, Dexter Harding. He is one of the naysayers against her claims of something else going on in her pregnancy journey, claiming she is overthinking things. At the same time, he’s enthusiastic to start a family. Harding also isn’t too keen on talking about his late first wife, Adeline.
Sonia: Annabelle Dexter-Jones
Looking a lot like his former wife, Sonia is an artist hired by Harding. To make things even more confusing, Dexter-Jones is playing both characters simultaneously, with Adeline having died in a fire some years before.
Annabelle Dexter-Jones has also been seen in Succession and Under the Silver Lake.

Talia: Juliana Canfield
Talia is introduced as the best friend of Harding’s late wife, Adeline. She’s got a strange relationship with Anna, yet somehow seems to have a hold on the art world.
Juliana Canfield has also been seen in The Neighbours’ Window and The Assistant.
Kamal: Maaz Ali
In Episode 2 of American Horror Story 2 Season 12, Kamal is introduced as a person who “looks like a model playing a security guard, but he actually is a security guard” at a getaway property Alcott and Harding stay at thanks to Talia.
Maaz Ali is also known as a model and voice actor.
Nicolette: Michaela Jaé Rodriguez
Though this is Michaela Jaé Rodriguez’s first appearance in the American Horror Story cast, she’s best known for working on Murphy’s show Pose as Blanca Rodriguez-Evangelista, which she ended up winning an Emmy for.
This time around, she’s taking up the role of Nicolette, though the bones of her character are yet to be revealed.
Io Preecher: Julie White
With a scary name and scary-looking outfit, Julie White’s character Io Preecher is one of the darker figures in Alcott’s pregnancy journey. She is seen in the clinic proclaiming that IVF is murder, returning once again in Alcott’s hallucinations.
With a red cloak that looks like it’s come straight out of David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, what she’s fully capable of is still yet to be seen. Fans might know White from the Transformers series, playing Sam Witwicky’s mom.
Dr. Andrew Hill: Denis O’Hare
Another stalwart in the American Horror Story cast, Denis O’Hare has already put performances in through multiple seasons, including Murder House, Freak Show, and Hotel.
O’Hare plays Dr. Andrew Hill, Alcott’s go-to guy for IVF treatment. There still isn’t too much information about him, only that whatever Alcott wants, he seems to deliver.
Billie Lourd
Spanning across multiple Murphy productions, Billie Lourd is heading back to American Horror Story after her most recent appearance in 1984.
Her role in Season 12 is as of yet undisclosed, though she can briefly be seen in the show’s teaser trailer.
Leslie Grossman
Another 1984 star, Leslie Grossman is also making her way back into the American Horror Story fold.
Her role also remains undisclosed for the time being. Alongside 1984, Grossman also appeared in Cult and Apocalypse.
Zachary Quinto
Rounding out the American Horror Story Season 12 cast is Zachary Quinto, who was previously seen in Murder House, Asylum, and NYC.
Once again, we don’t know Quinto’s exact involvement yet – though if his past performances are anything to go by, it’s sure to be a memorable character.
