Creator Ryan Murphy in a statement to an online portal said that he wrote the part with Kim Kardashian in mind. He 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 report also stated that Murphy started speaking with Kim regarding the role since last summer.

Reportedly, the new season will be based on Danielle Valentine’s upcoming novel Delicate Condition which is set to release in August 2023. The book’s synopsis reads, “The Push meets The Silent Patient in a gripping thriller that follows a woman convinced a sinister figure is going to great lengths to make sure her pregnancy never happenswhile the men in her life refuse to believe a word she says.” The book has received rave reviews from the critics.
