The wait is over as American Horror Story (AHS) is back for a chilling 12th season. Antsy for some spooks and thrills? The popular anthology series returns to screens Wednesday (Sept. 20) at 10 p.m. ET on FX, and the next day on Hulu.

This season, titled AHS: Delicate, takes inspiration for the first time from a novel — Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine — and to call it creepy is an understatement. Emma Roberts returns as a lead character named Anna, an up-and-coming indie actress who is desperate to have a baby and start a family with her husband Dexter (Matt Czuchry). She undergoes grueling IVF treatment and finally becomes pregnant, but the good news doesn’t last as she soon comes to believe that sinister forces are plotting against her.

Series creator Ryan Murphy is back with a star-studded cast, including The Kardashian’s star Kim Kardashian, model Cara Delevingne and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, who are all joining the show for the first time. Other newcomers include Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Maaz Ali and Juliana Canfield. Returning cast members include Denis O’Hare, Billie Lourd and Leslie Grossman.
