Others teased in the new trailer included Emma Roberts and Cara Delevingne. This season will be the twelfth in the series.
It was first announced back in January 2020. This was when FX renewed American Horror Story for a further three seasons.
Details about the cast have been coming in slowly, and while we have some idea who's in it, it's not yet clear who they'll be playing.
While it's not certain what role Kardashian will be playing, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that she will be playing a part written specifically for her.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the creator of American Horror Story 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.
“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.”
The latest season has been called Delicate. It is the first time that American Horror Story has drawn on source material for a series.
It will be based on upcoming novel by Danielle Valentine, called Delicate Condition. The book will be released in August.
The book tells the story of a woman who becomes more and more paranoid that some mysterious and sinister figure is making sure that her pregnancy never happens.
A cover blurb for the novel reads: “The feminist update to Rosemary’s Baby we all needed.”
It will also be the first time that a single writer and show runner will work on the show, Halley Feiffer. It is expected that the twelfth season will have a summer premier, although it is possible that a future premier will be disrupted by industrial action.
Kardashian has acted before, but this will be her most high profile foray into acting so far. It's also not the first time that American Horror Story has brought in big names to feature in episodes of the show.
Previously starring Jessica Lange and later Lady Gaga in previous seasons.
The latest season of American Horror Story has been executive produced by Murphy alongside Brad Falchuk, Scott Robertson, and Alexis Martin Woodall.
