The Unforgettable Return of Demi Moore: Resurrected by a Mammoth Horror Series

Demi Moore's career has lost momentum in recent years, but that might be changing as she joins one of the most popular horror series, marking a potential comeback on television. Moore began her career as a model in the 1980s, but soon discovered her passion for acting and made her debut in the teenage drama Choices. Following a brief stint on General Hospital, she landed a breakthrough role alongside Michael Caine in the comedy Blame It on Rio, leading to her quick involvement in St. Elmo's Fire in 1985.

However, it was the 1986 film About Last Night... that catapulted Demi Moore to stardom and became a pivotal moment in her career. Throughout the 90s, Moore enjoyed both critical acclaim and commercial success, but faced a career slump in the 2000s. She did experience a small resurgence with the film Bobby in 2006, but encountered another dry period in the mid-2010s. Moore is not widely recognized for her roles on television, with her most recent appearances being on Brave New World as Linda in three episodes, and as Diana on the podcast Dirty Diana. Nevertheless, it seems that Moore might be on the brink of a new chapter in her career, thanks to exciting casting news from a highly successful horror series.

Demi Moore Is Set To Appear In American Horror Story Season 12

Demi Moore has officially joined the cast of American Horror Story season 12, titled Delicate, according to a tweet. Although her character has not been disclosed yet, she will be starring alongside Zachary Quinto, Emma Roberts, and Denis O'Hare, who are returning AHS cast members. Additionally, big names like Kim Kardashian and Cara Delevigne have also been added to the roster. Despite the production hiatus due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, fans are eagerly anticipating the revelation of Moore's role and how it fits into the larger storyline.

Season 12 of American Horror Story will be a deviation from the norm, as it will be based on the upcoming novel Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine. Aside from the fact that it centers around a pregnant woman who has been informed by doctors that she has lost her baby but still has the sensation of being pregnant and believes she is being pursued, little else is known about the plot. Moore's character is not expected to have a leading role in the series, suggesting a possible connection to the pregnant woman. Whether she will be an ally or an adversary remains to be seen.

Why Appearing In AHS Can Help Demi Moore's Comeback

Moore's career could greatly benefit from landing a role on American Horror Story, demonstrating her renewed interest in high-profile projects. While her appearance in the feminist horror film The Substance is a step in the right direction, AHS has established itself as one of the most popular horror television shows. Moore's career slowdown was not due to a lack of job opportunities, but rather a deliberate break to focus on raising her three daughters after filming G.I. Jane. Her comeback with the arthouse drama Passion of the Mind was a box office disappointment.

Apart from a brief resurgence in the mid-2000s and 2010s with films like The Joneses and Margin Call, Moore seemed more inclined towards independent projects and small television roles. Therefore, her involvement in a major TV series like American Horror Story may seem unexpected, but it indicates her interest in embracing more mainstream media opportunities. With the recent announcement of Moore's appearance in AHS and the acquisition of the rights to produce her podcast Dirty Diana as a TV series by Amazon, it appears that she is poised for a career renaissance in the upcoming years.
