Summary
"Delicate," the twelfth season of American Horror Story, takes its cues from the renowned novel Delicate Condition as it delves into the profound themes of pregnancy and the relentless pursuit to deter a woman from bringing a child into the world.
The AHS: Delicate poster showcases Emma Roberts, adorned in black gloves, holding a luminous sphere, alluding to the unsettling pregnancy narrative and disturbing experiments that await. Season 12 of AHS shares a link with the film Rosemary's Baby, albeit with a pivotal distinction - Roberts' character possesses an inherent understanding of the malevolence right from the onset.
Check out the new poster for the upcoming season 12 of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story titled "Delicate." This Emmy-winning anthology series, which has been captivating audiences since 2011, will premiere on September 20 on FX. The season draws inspiration from Danielle Valentine's gripping novel, Delicate Condition, and follows the story of a pregnant woman who faces obstacles in giving birth. Emma Roberts, a seasoned American Horror Story actress, will once again take on a prominent role in the show. The official Twitter account recently shared the poster with a caption that reads, "Hold your loved ones close, hold your fears closer." Take a look at the poster below:
Featuring Roberts, the poster showcases the captivating composition of vibrant red letters "AHS" boldly placed against a captivating storm-cloud background. This mesmerizing scene is further enhanced by the ethereal tulle curtains gracefully billowing over the expanse of the sky. Roberts adorns patent leather black gloves that elegantly extend past her elbow, adding a touch of sophistication to her presence. In her hand, she delicately holds a radiant sphere, encapsulating the elusive shadow of a spider within its luminous glow.
Themes Of Pregnancy in AHS 12
The spider sphere in front of Roberts' stomach in the American Horror Story promotional posters appears to be hinting at pregnancy once again. As Roberts takes on the role of Anna Alcott, the protagonist of Valentine's novel, it is likely that she will endure dreadful experiments similar to those portrayed in the book. Additionally, Kim Kardashian, a new addition to American Horror Story, is seen holding a swaddled infant in some posters. This suggests that Kardashian's character, Siobhan Walsh, may also become entangled in the Anna-pregnancy storyline.
There is a connection between American Horror Story season 12 and the movie Rosemary's Baby. Rosemary's Baby is a horror classic that tells the story of a pregnant woman named Rosemary who becomes suspicious of her neighbors, suspecting them of planning something against her unborn child. One notable difference between the two works is that in season 12, Robert's character is already aware of the doctors' wrongdoings from the beginning, whereas in the movie, this realization comes at the end.
Emma Roberts has played various roles in American Horror Story, including Madison Montgomery in American Horror Story: Coven and Maggie Esmerelda in American Horror Story: Freak Show. In season 12, Roberts will make her fifth appearance in the show, returning after a four-year absence.
