American Horror Story Season 12 Poster: The Return of Emma Roberts Is Eerily Coming

UPDATE: Earlier in this article, Delicate was called American Horror Story Season 11. Delicate is the twelfth season of American Horror Story. The article has been updated to reflect this.

Summary:

The first poster for season 12 of American Horror Story, titled “Gentle,” offers a creepy close-up of Emma Roberts revealing her return. Season 12 will be split into two parts like Season 10, but it’s not clear if the parts will have disjointed storylines or if they will be a single, shared story.

The first poster for season 12 of American Horror Story, subtitled “Gentle,” features the creepy return of Emma Roberts. Roberts, last seen in Season 9, 1984, returns in a new round of episodes that will be split in two. Season 10 of Double Feature was also split in two, but it’s not clear if Delicate will follow two unrelated storylines like the previous season, or if it will just be two sets of episodes telling the same general story.

Now, with the release of the first trailer for season 12 of American Horror Story, a new poster for Gentle features a close-up of Roberts’ character. Check out the poster via FX below.

The poster shows Roberts alone, the image is similar to the previously released teaser. However, this time Roberts’ character is shown with a huge spider on her stomach, indicating that her story may be related to pregnancy. The poster for season 12 of American Horror Story also reveals that Delicate will be split in two and premiere on September 20.

The return of Emma Roberts for Season 12 of American Horror Story is long overdue.

Roberts last appeared in season 9 of American Horror Story, but her most iconic role on the show came in 2013. In American Horror Story: Coven, Roberts played Madison Montgomery, a young actress who explores her powers as a witch. The role spawned memes, an ongoing collaboration with series creator Ryan Murphy, and the character’s return in Apocalypse, the ninth season of American Horror Story.

As for what’s in store for Delicate, it’s still unclear. The production of season 12 of American Horror Story created a highly publicized controversy as the series continued to tour during the start of the WGA strike. Many asked Murphy, Kim Kardashian and other main characters to stop filming the series while the writers went on strike for fair compensation. The actors’ union SAG-AFTRA has since joined the strike.

However, that didn’t seem to delay the American Horror Story season 12 premiere. The show usually airs in the early fall, and Delicate appears to be no exception. It’s not clear why the season was split in two, but it’s more likely to be due to the strike rather than the storyline of the upcoming episodes. Either way, FX is clearly poised to start promoting next season, and it’s no surprise that Roberts was the first to be revealed given her history with the series.
