She'll be starring alongside Emma Roberts, who has appeared in five seasons of the program to date.

Kim Kardashian's role in the AHS has been in the works since last summer, after creator Ryan Murphy was impressed by her SNL hosting debut. Playwright and producer Halley Feiffer also joins the writers room for the season and created the "fun," "stylish," and "terrifying" role for the reality star, Murphy said.

“Kim is among the biggest and brightest television stars in the world and we are thrilled to welcome her to the AHS family,” Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter. “Emma and I are excited about collaborating with this true force in the culture."
