what is ahs delicate based on

American Horror Story: Delicate, the twelfth season of the American horror anthology series, is based on Danielle Valentines book Delicate Condition. The book is a modern update of the horror classic Rosemarys Baby, focusing on rising star Anna Victoria Alcotts struggles during pregnancy and her encounters with strange occurrences and a potential Satanic cult. The show follows Anna Victoria Alcott, played by Emma Roberts, as she navigates sudden stardom and awards attention while trying to conceive a baby with her husband, played by Matt Czuchry. The show has been praised as a feminist update of Rosemarys Baby and a body horror play. Kim Kardashian also stars in the show as Annas ruthless publicist. The show is the first season in the series history to not have Ryan Murphy as showrunner and to lean into source material.
