The twelfth season of the American horror anthology television series American Horror Story, subtitled Delicate, is based on Danielle Valentine's book Delicate Condition and the first and only season of the series to be based on a novel instead of having an original storyline (although the ending deviates heavily from the novel). It was also the first season not to be run by Ryan Murphy; Halley Feiffer was the showrunner and wrote all nine episodes. The ensemble cast includes returnees Emma Roberts, Denis O'Hare, Dominic Burgess, Zachary Quinto, Billie Lourd, Grace Gummer, and Leslie Grossman, with newcomers Matt Czuchry, Kim Kardashian, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Cara Delevingne, Julie White, Juliana Canfield, and Maaz Ali.
Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk for the cable network FX, the series is produced by 20th Television. Delicate aired from September 20, 2023, to April 24, 2024, and was split into two parts. The season garnered mixed reviews from critics, and ranked among the top-streamed shows in the United States in late 2023. It won a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Contemporary Costumes for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
