Delicate First Trailer Births The Mother Of All Horror With Emma Roberts

In the first official trailer for "American Horror Story: Delicate," we meet Emma Roberts' character who is a starlet looking for an Oscar win. However, she also seems to be trying to conceive and working through a difficult fertility journey. We hear the creepy quote: "Pain is the touchstone of growth." Of course, we see some of the show's trademark scares, trippy visuals, good looks at the bulk of the main cast, and a bit more to speculate on regarding the overall story. On the surface, Season 12 of "American Horror Story" looks to be following in the footsteps of Prime Video's recent "Dead Ringers" series, which also capitalized on the body horrors of pregnancy, fertility, and birth.

In the years since "American Horror Story" debuted on FX, some of its storylines and the seasons they reside within have become the stuff of horror TV legend. "American Horror Story: Freak Show," "American Horror Story: Asylum," and "American Horror Story: Coven" are among the most celebrated in the show's history thanks to their engaging stories and stacked casts. Will "Delicate" join this elite class of fan favorites? Or, will it fail to catch on and find itself at the bottom of the "American Horror Story" heap?

"American Horror Story: Delicate" premieres on September 20, 2023.
