Kardashian shared the same clip with an eyeball and blood drop emoji.

Ryan Murphy, the co-creator of "American Horror Story," said that he and Roberts are excited to collaborate with Kardashian.

"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 in a statement. "Halley Feiffer has written a fun, stylish and ultimately terrifying role especially for Kim, and this season is ambitious and unlike anything we have ever done."

The next installment, entitled "Delicate" has roots in Danielle Valentine’s novel "Delicate Condition," which is set to be released in August, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The book is a thriller, centered on a woman who believes someone is trying to stop her from having a pregnancy.

USA TODAY has reached out to FX for more information.

The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star has had other movie and television show appearances including cameos as herself and other small spots on "How I Met Your Mother," "CSI: NY" and "30 Rock."

The Skims founder has also hosted "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021 and came ready to play with plenty of jokes, including some fun she poked at her own family.

While Kardashian is new to the show, this is far from Roberts' first "American Horror Story" rodeo. The actress has been in 47 episodes between 2013 and 2023, according to IMDb with credits as characters Madison Montgomery in the "Coven" chapter; as Maggie Esmerelda and Miss Rothschild in "Freak Show"; As Brooke Thompson in "1984"; and as Serena Belinda in "Cult."
