Summary
American Horror Storyseason 12 is based on the novelDelicate Conditionby Danielle Valentine and, like the other seasons of Ryan Murphy’s horror TV series, could have connections to other seasons. The main plotline follows Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts) as she tries to get pregnant and deals with her competition Babette Eno (Taylor Richardson) and intense publicist Siobhan Corbyn (Kim Kardashian). While there are nods tohorror movies about pregnancysuch asRosemary’s Baby, long-time fans of the franchise wonder if there will be any ties to past characters or storylines.
American Horror Storyis of course an anthology series with a new theme each season, from witches to the end of the world. However, there are always some compelling connections between the seasons, and that makes watching the new episodes even more fun. DoesAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 have anything in common with the previous 12 unnerving and creepy seasons?
Does American Horror Story Season 12 Connect To Past Seasons?
After the cliffhangerending ofAmerican Horror Storyseason 12, fans wonder if the next five episodes are going to connect to past seasons. If there are any official connections, that will become clear by theAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 finale. As of now, fans have some ideas, and they have discussed them in various Reddit threads.
Redditor @rardoz postedthat they think thatAmerican Horror Story: DelicateandAmerican Horror Story: Apocalypse, which has a memorable ending, are tied together. They wrote that inApocalypse, “Devil Mama played by Kathy Bates says her first date wasRosemary’s Baby.” SinceAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 is about a pregnancy gone wrong, that character’s seemingly throwaway sentence could be a clue. The fan also wrote that inApocalypse, “Mallory pulls out a studded Louis Vuitton from cocos closet.” This could be another connection since inAmerican Horror Storyseason 12, Anna Victoria Alcott and Siobhan Corbyn care about looking fashionable at all times.
Anotherfan started a Reddit threadand thinks that there could be a witches' coven who is interested in getting Anna’s baby. However, while American Horror Story season 12 may be connected toAmerican Horror Story: Coven,which is season 3,this fan isn’t sure that this is the same coven. However, they do think that there is a group of witches who have persisted throughout the entire franchise. The fan theory states that “a massive witches’ coven was created” many decades ago in Europe and “they acquired property to protect their own, and pass down the tradition of witchcraft till it was safe to re-emerge.”
Other fans think thatAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 could connect toCoven.Redditor @steverogue90wrote that Siobhan could be a Supreme witch:
“We know in both coven and apocalypse the supreme stands in the middle…Delicatewitches may be associated with satan or perhaps something else… Some sort of supreme as well.”
Siobhan is one of the most memorableAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 characters and also one of the most confident and aggressive in the entire TV franchise. It would make sense if she was a Supreme because of her behavior toward Anna. As far as Siobhan is concerned, she is the reason why Anna is successful, and she deserves accolades as well. As Siobhan says in oneAmerican Horror Storyseason 12 scene:
“You’ve earned this. And even if you haven’t, I have.”
What Is American Horror Story Season 12 About?
Emma Roberts is one of theAmerican Horror Storyrecurring cast members, and shegets pregnantinAmerican Horror Storyseason 12. But terrifying things start occurring, and there seems to be evil in the air. Whether she is taking care of a dead raccoon or getting a threatening card saying “you may’t trust any of them,” Anna is in an unnerving and dangerous situation. It’s clear that by the end ofAmerican Horror Storyseason 12, something horrible will happen to her baby.
Danielle Valentine, who wroteDelicate Condition, toldEntertainment Weeklyabout herinspiration for the book. She said:
“I was really much more inspired byAlien, which I think will also give readers an idea of where I’m taking this.”
Valentine explained that while the1980s sci-fi classic filmAlienmight not be about a woman having a baby, she thought, “‘That’s just a pregnancy story without the pregnancy.’ That was the seed right there.” This is interesting to hear about, especially sinceAlienis amovie with a clever female main character.American Horror Storyseason 12 features many witty and intelligent characters who are trying to outsmart each other.
