Kim knows she is capable of so much and is excited for her fans to see that."

"Emma and Kim are Delicate. This summer," Murphy posted to Instagram alongside a short video confirming the two leads. So far, no further details about Kardashian's role have been revealed. Murphy is also keeping the plot for this season, called "Delicate," under wraps. 

Kardashian's time on AHS comes with a lot of support. The reality TV star, who is the mother of North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, will have her family cheering her on as she makes her debut.

"Kim’s family is so supportive and her kids are doing fantastic," the source says. "They’re all living their best lives."
